Soto Introduced as a Met, Talks Dynasty & Family 

Juan Soto in Queens. A dynasty in the making? The Mets have secured Soto with a record-breaking contract, and Cohen clearly believes this is a cornerstone to a potential dynasty. But is it enough? Soto’s talent is undeniable, but dynasties aren’t built on one player. What other moves do the Mets NEED to make to truly become a dominant force? And how will this impact the already fierce Mets-Yankees rivalry, especially since Soto hasn't spoken to his former teammates? Let’s hear your thoughts. Is this the beginning of a Mets golden age, or are they setting themselves up for a potentially expensive disappointment? What are the potential pitfalls of such a massive long-term contract? Is Cohen’s “constant state of improvement” sustainable?

The Yankees fought hard to retain Soto. Where do they go from here? Are they out of the running for a championship, or does this open up opportunities to strengthen other areas of their roster? This move drastically shifts the balance of power in the NL East, and perhaps in all of baseball. How do other teams respond? Who are the winners and losers in this massive shake-up? This also raises an interesting question: how much weight should a player’s desire for a “dynasty” carry in free agency decisions? Is it a legitimate factor, or just a nice-sounding narrative? Let’s discuss.
