These leaks are designed to squeeze as much money from the Yankees as possible, Roberts believes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"F746DG3KGJHFJB2DX7Y32TQ7HU\">\u201cMy honest perception is I think the Mets are being used, and it scares me,\u201d Roberts said, via SNY. \u201cI think Scott Boras is leaking all of this stuff out. And I think Scott Boras has a reason on why he leaks stuff out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6N7POCDVV5HILK25DUUYKQJYLI\">\u201cI believe, and I hope I\u2019m wrong about this. &#8230; I think that Juan Soto has probably told Scott Boras he wants to stay with the New York Yankees. That is the read I\u2019m getting on this.<\/p>\n<p id=\"W7WLIPY3QVBEXJB5XW5BKDRKFE\">\u201cHe wants to stay with the Yankees, but he\u2019s telling Scott now, get me the most money. And I think that putting the Mets over the way the leaks have portrayed it is trying to apply pressure on Hal Steinbrenner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"GN4J4PLQONHZXDVY6DFGZOMI5Y\"><b>BUY METS TICKETS:<\/b> STUBHUB<b>,<\/b> VIVID SEATS<b>,<\/b> TICKETMASTER<\/p>\n<p id=\"ZVLBCXIFIBHERBVHWTGICZESCA\">Most recently, New York radio legend Chris Russo and The New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman revealed that Soto actually met with Mets owner Steve Cohen at the billionaire\u2019s Beverly Hills mansion.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PKWC3QXKPRGKHJ4XYHN5YJK3AM\">Other reports, like one from former\u00a0Mets infielder-turned-MLB-news-breaker Carlos Baerga claimed\u00a0Cohen had offered Soto $660 million. And\u00a0Yankees\u00a0announcer Michael Kay added that Cohen would beat the highest offer by $50 million.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Z74X7FHDBFDEXO3ZHDNKSUQRZU\">All told, these reports indicate that the Mets are the \u201cclear-cut favorite,\u201d as an executive told USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale recently, to land Soto. But are they really?<\/p>\n<p id=\"W2GC4ZVFDJGETPVKR3JCJLFUJI\">Roberts doesn\u2019t think so. He still thinks there\u2019s a chance for the Mets though.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DE72KD7BVBEIFKGMB26LL3QOWI\">\u201cThe good news is,\u201d Robers said, \u201cI\u2019m sure there\u2019s a number that if Hal doesn\u2019t get to and Steve does, where Scott and Juan are going to say, \u2018Alright, we gave you every shot in the world.
