Insider Predicts Mets Will Make Huge Offer for ‘Game-Changer.
At one point, the New York Mets were over 10 games below .500, but they have completely turned their season around and currently hold a record of 61-57, just one game out of a National League Wild Card spot. The Mets made strategic acquisitions before the trade deadline and have a genuine opportunity to compete for a playoff spot.
While the Mets have performed well this season, they are expected to be even stronger in 2025. Their payroll will become more manageable, and there are already rumors that New York might return to its high-spending ways in free agency this offseason.
The Mets have been connected to several players, with New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto being the most notable. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden even predicted that the Mets will compete with the Yankees to acquire him.
“Juan Soto has been a game-changer for the Yankees this season and seems likely to finish in the top five of the American League MVP voting,” Bowden stated. “He’s expected to sign a contract worth over half a billion dollars, and both New York teams are anticipated to pursue him.”
It’s been frequently mentioned that the Mets will be part of the bidding war for Soto, which is not surprising given his status as one of the best players in baseball. He has proven he can thrive in New York and is precisely the kind of player the Mets should pursue.
