NY Post: All signs point to Juan Soto being a $600 million man in free agency. "Scott Boras, Soto’s agent, said Tuesday at Blake Snell’s introductory Dodgers press conference that the four-time All-Star has begun the process of 'eliminating' teams from contention, though it’s not clear which organizations Soto has decided to pass on yet.Boras added that a decision isn’t 'imminent.'”
NY Post: Francisco Alvarez pitches Juan Soto, Vlad Guerrero Jr. on Mets: ‘Trio in Queens’. "The Instagram story, which features an image of Alvarez and Guerrero side-by-side and donning the same jersey, was snapped at the celebrity softball game for SauceGiving, held in Puerto Rico on Dec. 1...The Mets catcher shared a post to Instagram recruiting star free agent Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to Queens. A second post from Alvarez called for Juan Soto to come and "make a trio" in Queens."
NY Post: Frankie Montas-Mets pairing seen as one with plenty of promise by scouts, execs. "Two encouraging signs stood out following Montas’ move from Cincinnati to Milwaukee: His hit rate decreased sharply and his strikeout rate jumped up."
