The New York Mets have reportedly offered free agent Juan Soto $660 million after meeting in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The grand prize of the 2024 MLB free agent class, Juan Soto, has been making the rounds this week as he meets with potential suitors.According to reports, Soto has met with the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, and, most recently, the New York Mets. The Mets were expected to be serious contenders in the Soto sweepstakes, thanks primarily to the seemingly bottomless pockets of owner Steve Cohen. If reports are to be believed, those expectations were not misplaced.
The Mets' $660 million offer is the first reported offer of the offseason and well exceeds those expectations. The contract would be the second-largest in MLB history, just $40 million shy of Shohei Ohtani's record-shattering $700 million contract he received last offseason from the Los Angeles Dodgers.
