Jon Heyman reports that the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays are leading the race for Juan Soto in free agency. The Mets, with their significant financial resources under owner Steve Cohen, are seen as the frontrunners.

While the Blue Jays' position is surprising due to financial constraints and upcoming contract decisions, they remain in contention. Soto's recent MVP-caliber performance with the New York Yankees adds another layer to his free agency prospects.
