The New York Mets are reportedly showing interest in a star infielder, who president of baseball operations David Stearns is familiar with.

There's a heavy bidding war taking place in New York as both the Yankees and the Mets have entered the sweepstakes for superstar Juan Soto. The 26-year-old phenom is expected to be pursued by nearly half of Major League Baseball as he hits free agency for the first time in his career.

A new report suggests that Juan Soto will not be the only big-time free agent the New York Mets and New York Yankees engage in a bitter battle to sign this offseason. This is going to be a pivotal next few weeks and months for both the Mets and Yankees.
