Juan Soto’s Citi Field fit could make for perfect Mets match
NY Post
Juan Soto’s bat plays in all corners of the MLB universe, but over the course of his first seven seasons there’s been one venue maybe homier to him than the rest.
If the All-Star outfielder needed any additional selling points on the Mets in his meeting with team officials last month, there was this: Soto’s career 1.175 OPS at Citi Field is the highest of any ballpark in which he has played at least 20 games.
Soto, 26, has reached the final stages of a free agency that likely will be settled by the conclusion of next week’s Winter Meetings in Dallas.
Even more likely is a resolution by this weekend, according to industry sources, as he mulls offers — all in excess of $600 million, according to The Post’s Jon Heyman — from the Mets, Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays and Dodgers.
It is unclear which teams, if any from that group, have been eliminated from contention.
Already, Soto and Citi Field have proven to be a match — perhaps mitigating concerns about how an elite talent and ballpark not known as a haven for hitters might mesh.
