After signing Juan Soto, Mets prepare millions for the arrival of an Astros star

The Orange and Blue continue to put together a team that aspires to reach the World Series

The Mets made headlines after signing Dominican Juan Soto, who agreed to a $765 million, 15-year contract, and different amounts for bonuses, but it looks like that’s just the start of a n aggressive strategy by Steve Cohen, who wants a World Series contender

To that end, the Metropolitans’ boss has begun to open the checkbook to achieve that goal, as the Orange and Blue ninth has one of the architects of the recent success of the Houston Astros on its radar.

Since acquiring the New York Mets in 2020, Steve Cohen has shown that resources are available with the sole aim of returning the Mets to the forefront of Major League Baseball.

The Mets now want Alex Bregman

The shortstop Alex Bregman surprised locals and strangers by rejecting a new contract with the Houston Astros for $159 million, which would mark his departure from the Texas team, where he has played the nine seasons he has played as a professional.

The Astros have reached an agreement with Christian Walker, so MLB analyst Ken Rosenthal said that move is a clear message from owner Jim Crane, who has closed the door on Bregman.

Mike Mayer, editor of Metsmerized Online, noted that the Mets have already put a $200 million offer on the table, which if accepted would not only see Bregman join the Mets, but also mark the departure of Pete Alonso
