Part 2/8:

The ongoing pursuit of Juan Soto is a major focus for Mets fans. On a recent episode of the Locked on Mets podcast, host Ryan Felstein illuminated the heightened interest as both the Mets and Yankees have reportedly increased their offers into the realm of record-setting contracts. As Felstein pointed out, the Yankees have offered between $710 million to $730 million, with speculation that the Mets might be slightly higher at around $730 million.

Soto, regarded as a superstar, is poised for an unprecedented deal that could reshape both teams’ lineups for years to come if successful. The stakes have become monumental, with not only the Mets and Yankees involved but also other serious contenders such as the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Dodgers circling.
