Part 2/10:

When it comes to this offseason, the biggest question on the minds of both Mets and Yankees fans is the illustrious Juan Soto and where he'll end up playing next season. Tyler Ward expressed cautious optimism for the Mets, placing their chances of securing Soto between 50-55%. This belief is anchored by the personal character of Mets owner Steve Cohen and the positive trajectory under the leadership of David Sterns and Carlos Mendoza. These elements create an attractive environment for a player like Soto who values strong relationships from ownership through to the coaching staff. The Mets currently boast a rising farm system and the resources to back up a hefty contract estimated at around $700 million.
