The best way to not be stepbrothers to the Yankees would have been to beat them in the World Series and then take Soto away. Half of that is still possible. And Steve Cohen should try.
The Mets just lost to the Dodgers, the franchise that Steve Cohen nearly bought more than a decade ago, and the organization he has wanted to most emulate since he purchased the Mets.
The Dodgers’ $1 billion-plus offseason was built mainly around Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a trade and extension for a big-stuff, injury-concern Tyler Glasnow and Teoscar Hernandez. He was hired to be for the Mets what Andrew Friedman has been for the Dodgers — a guy who made the most from the least in Tampa Bay/Milwaukee and now can combine that with being able to shop at the highest end. Remember that even in an offseason of relative frugality, the Mets had the same bid for Yamamoto as the Dodgers.
Yankees right fielder Juan Soto reacts as he rounds the bases after hitting a go-ahead, 10th-inning home run in ALCS Game 5 on Oct. 19, 2024.I do think Soto has loved being a Yankee, and, all things being equal , would stay. But how close? Aaron Judge had stronger ties to the Yankees and agreed to a deal before fully exploring how far the Giants and Padres might go. I suspect this Scott Boras client will find out how far Cohen will go.
— Who is Kodai Senga? Have Tylor Megill and David Peterson earned the right to definitively be in the 2025 rotation? There is enough uncertainty there that the Mets need to add three starters. Crochet is going to be very available. The Mets have prospect collateral now to get him. The lefty has two control years and is hard to hit. He also has no track record of staying healthy as a starter.
