Amid rumblings that Juan Soto could make his free-agent decision at some point this week, the New York Mets are emerging as a favorite to sign the All-Star slugger.
Per ESPN's Jorge Castillo, the sense is that Mets owner Steve Cohen "will top any offer" that Soto receives from another club in an effort to ensure he plays in Queens.
In the same article, Kiley McDaniel noted the belief around MLB is the Mets "won't let money be the reason for not landing Soto" in the way that it could be for the New York Yankees.
