Mets Owner Steve Cohen Sends Message to Fans About Juan Soto Pursuit
New York Mets fans are brimming with excitement as the offseason heats up. While no major trades or signings have occurred yet, the Mets appear poised to dominate the market. With ample financial resources, a talented core, tradeable prospects, and a clear objective, the organization is determined to make Juan Soto their marquee acquisition alongside Francisco Lindor.
Juan Soto: The Mets’ Top Priority
Steve Cohen, the Mets’ owner, has placed signing Juan Soto at the top of his offseason agenda. The team requires additional starting pitchers, bullpen reinforcements, and a few more bats. However, securing Soto’s services would catapult them into championship contention for years to come. His presence could transform the franchise into a perennial powerhouse.
This week, teams are expected to formally submit offers to Soto’s representatives. The Mets have made their intentions clear: they are prepared to outbid any competitor. Cohen has committed to doing whatever it takes to bring Soto to Queens, leveraging both financial strength and strategic planning.
Cohen’s Determined Pursuit of Soto
Cohen, renowned for his hands-on approach and immense wealth, is central to the Mets’ pursuit. Speaking about the situation, Cohen sent a message to Mets fans eagerly tracking updates:
“We’re gonna find out. It’s either yes or no. There’s no in between, and time will tell,” he said, as shared by SNY on X (formerly Twitter).
The Mets seem to be leading the race for Soto. While the star outfielder enjoyed his stint with the Yankees in 2024 and holds them in high regard, the Mets are in a stronger position to offer a record-breaking contract. Other teams may struggle to compete with the financial package Cohen is likely to propose.
If Soto ultimately signs elsewhere, particularly with the Yankees or another team, it would probably be for reasons unrelated to money. However, the Mets remain confident in their ability to deliver an offer that would be nearly impossible to turn down.
For now, Mets fans are hopeful that Cohen’s ambition and resources will secure Soto, signaling a new era for the franchise.
