They\u2019re in a large market with us. They had a taste of success this year and they want to move the needle even more forward. The best way to do that is import quality players to what you already have.<\/p>\n<p id=\"VZ5M6GGLUVFH3DGDLDDIM76NGM\">\u201cSo that\u2019s what we, they and anybody interested in winning and being the last team standing has. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about, trying to find great players and add it to your mix.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"NTBUXAZMSRGYND4WYPW7L36V6M\">Cashman, however, played down the Mets probably being able to get Soto if they really want him because Cohen\u2019s net worth is three times higher than the Steinbrenner family\u2019s, $21.3 billion to $7.1 billion according to Forbes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MTVV6757OBD27GRJGOTII3G5CQ\">When Cashman was asked if he\u2019s nervous that Cohen can outspend Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, he responded, \u201cI think that\u2019s just the nature of the beast, (but) big-market owners with deep pockets aren\u2019t the only ones signing players to big deals. You\u2019ve seen the San Diego Padres sitting out in the West Coast. They\u2019ve imported a lot of big-time players and big-time contracts that they\u2019ve out-competed other teams of interest for.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FNQV37SDSRBORAPMBWM5QW74IE\">\u201cSo it comes in various forms and various cities at various times. The market on a year in, year out basis is coming this strong from all different aspects of the baseball universe. We do our best to compete with whomever on a year in year out basis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"RW4PCHIM7ZBSNCCZJLI56FSTVA\"><i>Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
