Offseason No. 2 in David Stearns’ tenure leading the front office is underway, and it’s almost a given the Mets will be more aggressive in free agency.
SAN ANTONIO — The only multi-year contract the Mets gave to a free agent last winter was a two-year deal worth $28 million to Sean Manaea that contained an opt-out.
“I would expect us to spend some of that, a good portion of that, to complement our team,” Stearns said. “Heading into next year we’re also not going to do anything that hamstrings us in future years and prevents us from continually adding to our core group.” Juan Soto is finally available, and the Mets have every reason to pursue the 26-year-old outfielder, who would join Francisco Lindor to give the Mets a second organizational cornerstone.
The dance has begun, but will the two sides find common ground on a new contract? Soto and Alonso are both represented by Scott Boras, so that should create an interesting dynamic.
