The New York Mets are considered a top suitor for Juan Soto. Several MLB experts have predicted the Mets to seal a deal with the star slugger. Apart from them, the Yankees are also a favorite. Yet, Steven Cohen and his squad have made a move on Clay Holmes.

Many were surprised to see the team sign Clay Holmes instead of Soto. Fans were eager to hear the news of Soto’s signing, but the team had other plans. Holmes agreed to a three-year $38 million contract, making his rival team his home.

After his signing, fans have questioned the team’s potential to sign Soto. Many started to wonder if the Mets were really serious about signing Soto. The franchise had already spent $38 million and is predicted to sign Soto for over $600 million.

Here’s a look at some of the fan reactions on X.

“No team that’s serious about being in on Soto is spending any money til they get him… he’s a Yankee or Red Sox. Sorry Mets fans back to reality and poverty,” wrote one fan.

“Probably means they’re out on Soto,” another fan responded.

Probably means they’re out on Soto….

“Mets: we’re getting Soto! Reality: Montas and Clay,” one fan chimed in.

“Mets going to take Soto too???” asked one fan.


“Mets really spending big money on MID starters,” one fan chipped in.

 


New York Mets Look To Shake Things Up With A New Pitching Lineup

The Mets have let go of Luis Severino as they showed no interest in signing the pitcher. Despite Severino having a decent run with the Mets, they are keen on starting fresh. Adding Clay Holmes to their squad is part of a new beginning.

The franchise has not talked about Sean Manaea and Jose Quintana, either. It seems like they are interested in adding some new arms to their lineup. It’s unclear what Cohen and company have offered Soto, but fans are growing tired of the Soto drama.

The Yankees are still a favorite, and the Blue Jays and Red Sox are back in the race. However, it’s believed that Soto’s free agency is finally coming to an end. The All-Star is expected to sign with a team anytime soon.
