Mets Pursue Juan Soto, Eye Other Stars

The New York Mets are actively pursuing significant roster enhancements following their surprising postseason performance, which saw them nearly reach the World Series. Owner Steve Cohen, known for his willingness to spend, is making a strong push to sign superstar free agent Juan Soto, who played for the Yankees last season. Cohen is scheduled to meet with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, in Southern California, amid interest from several other MLB teams, including the Yankees. Soto's expected contract could exceed $600 million, setting a new benchmark for position players. Alongside Soto, the Mets are considering other high-profile trade options, such as acquiring Milwaukee Brewers star Devin Williams to bolster their bullpen. Meanwhile, discussions around potential trades, including bringing in Carlos Correa from the Twins, highlight the Mets' aggressive approach to building a competitive team.
