Juan Soto buys into Steve Cohen’s lofty Mets World Series ambitions: ‘Why you play baseball’
NY Post
Juan Soto wanted to know just how much success his prospective new team patriarch expected if he signed with the Mets.
This was during one of the two lunch meetings Soto had with Steve Cohen during the All-Star outfielder’s free-agency tour over the last month.
The expectation would be to win, Soto understood, but to what degree over the next 10 years?
Cohen told Soto he would like to win two to four World Series titles over the next decade.
Soto respected what he heard.
“I feel that is what it’s all about, why you play baseball — to be a championship player and win as many as you can,” Soto said Thursday at Citi Field, where he donned his No. 22 Mets jersey for the first time after signing an historic contract with the club. “At the end of the day, you can have all this stuff, but if you don’t win it’s kind of hard.”
