Juan Soto expected to choose Mets over Yankees in record contract decision

Juan Soto's decision on his next team is expected soon, possibly by Monday. He is projected to sign a contract exceeding $600 million, with five teams still in contention: the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Insiders suggest the New York Mets are the frontrunners, led by owner Steve Cohen, who has significant financial resources. The Mets' strong management team may also enhance their appeal to Soto. The Yankees remain a strong competitor, but the Mets' financial advantage could play a crucial role in the bidding process. The outcome of this high-stakes negotiation is still uncertain.
