Per The Athletic, Jed Hoyer does "not intend to deviate from the course" of the long-term plan and the team has already ruled out bidding on top free agents Juan Soto and Corbin Burnes. Instead, they'll focus on improving the big-league roster either ...

With Juan Soto expected to become possibly the richest player in the history of baseball, his star agent Scott Boras is reportedly meeting with MLB's richest owner, Steve Cohen.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is scheduled to meet with free-agent outfielder Juan Soto and Soto's agent, Scott Boras, next week in Southern California, according to the New York Post. Soto and Boras are expected to meet with other owners and braintrust groups between now and whenever Soto makes his decision.
