Executives at this week\'s General Managers Meetings in San Antonio believe the race to land Juan Soto in free agency is already down to two teams.
Rival executives expect the New York Mets and New York Yankees to engage in a bidding war for Soto.
Clubs such as the Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals may show interest in Soto, but the wide-ranging belief across the industry is that he\'ll land in New York.
\"It\'s the Yankees or the Mets,\" one American League executive said when asked to handicap the Soto sweepstakes. \"He knows the Yankees well after spending a year there, and [Mets owner] Steve Cohen has enough money to give him whatever he wants if he decides he wants him badly enough. It\'s tough for me to see Soto winding up anywhere else.\"
