Chris Russo hosts Post podcast — and this is who he thinks has the inside track on signing Juan Soto

Chris “Mad Dog” Russo sees the Mets landing the big fish of free agency.
In a guest appearance on The Post’s podcast “The Show,” Russo filled in for reporter Joel Sherman and gave his two cents on who will land Juan Soto this offseason.
“I think [Steve Cohen] felt that he set the table well with his team talking to Soto,” Russo said to Post reporter Jon Heyman. “So I think maybe right now the Mets are the leading clubhouse contender and that, as you said, we’ll find out about everybody else.”
“I thought he’d be signed with the Yankees. But I got a funny feeling he might go to the Mets,” Russo said.
Soto is about to start taking offers and the Mets and Yankees are considered the favorites, with the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Blue Jays also in the mix.
Heyman previously reported that Soto had an extremely productive meeting with Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner.
