“The Mets want to improve the team and there is no doubt that they will go after free agents, especially Juan Soto, who everybody wants,” he said. “The Mets will go full blast for him.” Mets owner Steve Cohen is meeting with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, in California this week.

The New York Mets will do "everything necessary" to sign superstar slugger Juan Soto in free agency, executive Carlos Beltran recently told Joseph Reboyras of Primera Hora, a Puerto Rican newspaper, at a charity pickleball event.

The first team to meet with Juan Soto and agent Scott Boras in person reportedly won't be the New York Yankees or Mets, the favorites to sign the star slugger.
