Mets ambitious offseason plans don’t stop with Juan Soto
The New York Mets are in a great spot. On the postseason bubble, with a bonafide MVP candidate in Francisco Lindor and one of the most aggressive front offices in the league. If the 2024 season doesn’t pan out, New York fans can look ahead to 2025 with great anticipation, because this winter could swing heavily in the Mets’ favor.
We all know Juan Soto is the Mets’ No. 1 target. If he doesn’t return to the New York Yankees, odds are Soto will simply move across boroughs to Queens. The Mets are sure to offer the most money and, quite possibly, the best competitive odds. Just imagine saying that a year ago. Oh, how times have changed
Other teams will join the fray for Soto, but his contract is going to push $600 million and only a few franchises can truly afford such a number. The Mets can afford it most of all, and Steve Cohen generally commits to winning when the moment arrives.
That is not the end of New York’s ambitious offseason plans, though. The Mets could take multiple bites out of the free agency apple, with another top-line target recently connected to the franchise.
According to Jon Heyman of the local New York Post, Baltimore Orioles ace Corbin Burnes is another potential target for the Metropolitan club
