MLB Rumors: Exec Would 'Bet' Mets Will Pursue Yankees' Juan Soto in 2024 Free Agency

An anonymous MLB executive believes that the New York Mets will attempt to sign New York Yankees slugger Juan Soto after the 2024 season in addition to re-signing Pete Alonso, according to SNY's Andy Martino.

"I bet [Mets owner Steve Cohen] goes for both," said the executive, who reportedly knows Cohen but does not work for the team.

Soto was acquired by the Yankees in a trade with the San Diego Padres on Dec. 6 before the three-time All-Star and New York's front office agreed to a $31 million 2024 salary to avoid arbitration on Jan.
