Mets Rumors: Francisco Lindor Helping to Recruit Juan Soto in 2024 MLB Free Agency

New York Mets star Francisco Lindor is doing his part to keep Juan Soto in the Big Apple, albeit in a different borough.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the Mets and New York Yankees are the two favorites to land the decorated slugger and have meetings with him set up.

"The Mets' pursuit has gotten a hand from shortstop Francisco Lindor, who would love another star in Queens and has taken a role in recruiting Soto, while the Yankees can point to Soto's excellence in the Bronx this season as a precursor for more," per Passan.
