Juan Soto trade rumors swirling; 5 possible landing spots

5. New York Mets

Trading for Juan Soto would be quite the welcome for the Mets’ newest lead baseball executive David Sterns. After operating within the costs of a mid-market franchise like the Milwaukee Brewers, Sterns may find the perks of a job in a market like New York could help him land one of the game’s best hitters. While the plan for the Mets is still for the 2025 season, and not the 2024 one, Soto’s age and likely prime window coming up, could entice Sterns to put his chips in the middle of the table this offseason.
