\"Juan<\/p>\n

The New York Mets certainly do not appear to be shying away from their pursuit of Juan Soto.<\/p>\n

Longtime Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran, who currently works for the team\u2019s front office, made clear that Soto is a priority for the Mets. Beltran made the comments\u00a0to Joseph Reboyras of Primera Hora\u00a0during a charity pickleball tournament in Puerto Rico, adding that the Mets are prepared to go \u201cfull blast\u201d to land the prized free agent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Mets want to improve the team and there\u2019s no doubt they\u2019ll go after all the players on the market, knowing that the piece the whole world wants is Juan Soto, and the Mets won\u2019t hesitate to go after him full blast,\u201d Beltran said,\u00a0via Justin Tasch of the New York Post. \u201cThe owner of the Mets is one of the wealthiest in the game and he wants to win. When he says he wants to win, he doesn\u2019t say it so the fans will get excited and go to the ballpark. Really, it\u2019s something personal for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beltran\u2019s point about Mets owner Steve Cohen is certainly tough to argue. Cohen is\u00a0already taking an active role\u00a0in the Soto pursuit, and one has to wonder if there is a ceiling to what he might be willing to pay.<\/p>\n

The Mets and Yankees are viewed as the top suitors for Soto, though\u00a0plenty of other teams are likely to launch their own pursuit. Few, if any, are being more openly aggressive than the Mets are at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
