Mike Puma NY Post: Mets owner Steve Cohen is making his first big Juan Soto move with Scott Boras visit. "With it appearing more and more the free-agent slugger is a priority for the team this offseason, Mets owner Steve Cohen plans to travel to Southern California next week to meet with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, according to industry sources."
Tim Healey Newsday: Three Mets takeaways from the MLB GM meetings. 1. Pete Alonso’s free agency is fascinating — and seemingly a subplot. Can the Mets sign both Soto and Alonso? (Of course Steve Cohen can swing it.) Do they want to? (Unclear.) 2. The Mets need a centerfielder . . . or do they? Stearns isn’t so sure. 3. Stearns’ inner circle has evolved.
