New York Mets owner Steve Cohen and his wife, Alex, reportedly played a large role in Juan Soto's decision to sign with the team in free agency.

Soto met with several teams at the Pendry hotel in California but Cohen insisted that he host his meeting with Soto at his own residence in the state, according to Patrick Mooney, Will Sammon, Brendan Kuty and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
"During the meeting with Soto, Cohen and his wife Alex outlined their vision for the Mets, and how the best free agent on the market would fit into that picture," Mooney, Sammon, Kuty and Rosenthal wrote on Monday.
