Mets News: Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Juan Soto Rumors Uncovered

Recent reports have shifted the focus of Mets and Yankees fans to players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Juan Soto. While the Yankees are in the mix for both, Mets fans are asking, “What about us?”

Although the Yankees are eyeing potential trades for these players, the Mets are not involved in the Soto sweepstakes, staying focused on securing Yamamoto.

For Soto and the Mets, the timing is off. With their sights set on competing in 2024 without sacrificing their future, they are not engaging in trade talks for players that require significant prospect capital.

The Mets are confident in their ability to make the playoffs and build for the future. However, they are not willing to sacrifice long-term success for short-term gains.

Yankees, on the other hand, are eager to make a strong push for the World Series in 2024 and are willing to make significant trades, even for one-year rentals like Soto.

As for Yamamoto, both the Yankees and the Mets are interested, with the Mets showing a deep desire to sign him. Despite the lack of buzz, they are making efforts to secure him.

A potential doomsday scenario exists for New York baseball, should Shohei Ohtani choose a team other than the Dodgers, leaving them with funds to potentially sign Yamamoto.

The Mets are also pursuing other starting pitchers, with Jordan Montgomery being a primary target. They are also exploring deals with pitchers like Luis Severino and Shota Imanaga.
