Bill Madden NY Daily News: Hal Steinbrenner hyping his player relationships in bid to lure Juan Soto back to Yankees. "Cohen decides he has to have Soto at whatever cost and blows the market into a record-shattering stratosphere. But there are believed to be some intangibles that could influence Soto’s decision above and beyond the money. Specifically, he has reportedly told people he became very close with Nationals owner Ted Lerner when he was with Washington and Padres owner Peter Seidler in San Diego. But when Lerner’s son Mark took over as Washington’s CEO in 2018, the relationship wasn’t the same and that was a principal factor in his turning down their 15-year, $440 million extension offer in 2022."

The Mets' former closer John Franco signs a three-year pact as a set-up man to stay with his hometown team, foregoing an opportunity to close for the Phillies. The 40 year-old Staten Island resident, who needs 59 saves to break Lee Smith's career record of 478, lost his closing job to Armando Benitez during the 1998 season.

2005

The Marlins cut their payroll when the team sends last season's premiere free agent Carlos Delgado (.301, 33, 115) and $7 million to the Mets for Mike Jacobs (10 homers in 100 at-bats), minor league infielder Grant Psomas and Yusmeiro Petit, a highly touted pitching prospect. In January, the free-agent first baseman left Toronto after 12 years of service to sign a four-year deal worth a reported $52 million to play for Florida.
