Joel Sherman NY Post: Yankees, Mets should test Twins’ waters for possible Carlos Correa trade. "The answer: Because at the right price, a risk is worth it for the right player...if as part of a trade Minnesota had to absorb the two years at $33.5 million due Jeff McNeil or the one year at $19 million owed Starling Marte — or both if the Mets put in a better class of prospects...Correa will play at just 30 next year...Even playing just 86 games in 2024, he accumulated a 3.7 WAR"

Phil Mushnick  NY Post: Juan Soto’s showboating makes him tough act to suffer as free agency frenzy heats up.  "Perhaps because I could not suffer Soto’s style of play — he’s a superior batter but spends more time practicing his elaborate home run handshakes and is indiscriminately eager to demonstrate immodest home plate behavior than learning to play right field — I’ve found Soto a tough act to suffer back to when he was a showboat on feeble Nationals teams."

Tim Healey NY Post: Mets' Steve Cohen has more than just a lot of money . . . he has a great relationship with Scott Boras. "Whereas some owners are wary of Boras and try to avoid talking to him — leaving that to their general managers, who have been hired to handle such matters — Cohen is more than happy to engage...So as the Mets engage on Soto, Alonso and others in the coming weeks and months, there are lessons worth knowing. When it comes to Cohen and Boras, Boras and Cohen, contracts can be consummated quickly — and at a level higher than anticipated. "
