SAN ANTONIO, Texas — When Scott Boras gets on his soapbox — yes ... goose a player’s market is one owner who gets a little loose with the purse strings. Juan Soto’s market might not need any spurring. Soto is a four-time All-Star, a World Series ...

Juan Soto will take his time surveying the free agent market before signing with a team, according to his agent Scott Boras. Speaking at the general manager's meetings Wednesday, Boras indicated that Soto desires a "thorough" vetting before making a decision.

A new report suggests the Mets won't engage in a bidding war over Juan Soto unless he is serious in his desire to play in Queens, like past free agents.
