breaking news; Francisco Lindor suspended for hoping on Juan Soto……
If the New York Yankees want to keep Juan Soto beyond 2024, they will have competition from another team in their city.
Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Yankees and New York Mets are considered the top potential suitors for Soto in free agency and the floor for his contract is expected to be $500 million.
The price only puts a few teams in the discussion, but Passan noted big-market clubs like the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are considered “long shots to make a real push” for Soto.
It’s been a not-so-quiet secret that the Mets are keeping an eye on Soto. Mets players like Francisco Alvarez and Francisco Lindor have talked publicly about what it would mean if the team could add him.
“When it comes to the outfielder from across our borough, he’s having a fantastic year and I hope he goes out there and breaks every record out there when it comes to getting paid. If it’s with us, it’ll be fantastic. He’ll help us a lot,” Lindor told Passan.
