Steve Cohen awaits Mets’ Juan Soto fate as MLB’s pitching market takes shape
NY Post
He may have more control over the situation than some, but like everyone else, Steve Cohen is waiting on Juan Soto.
Asked Monday about the possibility of Soto ending up with the Mets, the team owner told reporters, “Listen, we’re gonna find out. It’s either yes or no. There’s no in-between. Time will tell.”
Teams are expected to start making offers to the biggest free agent prize of the offseason soon, with many believing a decision will be made around the time of the Winter Meetings, which begin Dec. 9 in Dallas.
Either way, Cohen — who was at an event for his New York Golf Club in the TGL golf league — is confident the Mets will be good in 2025.
“We’ll see what happens,’’ Cohen said of the offseason. “We built a great team last year and I fully expect to do the same this year.”
For that to happen, they’ll need more than just Soto.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Knicks could not fully salvage a two-way clunker Saturday night, and their longest winning streak of the season is history.
If Brian Daboll will be fighting to keep his job across these next seven weeks, it is not lost on Tommy DeVito that he is the one who has been entrusted to help his coach save it.
Kevin Shattenkirk is 35, a Stanley Cup champion and now a father of three with his wife, Deanna, after having a second daughter in September.

Uncertainty has followed Zion Williamson off the court.
SALT LAKE CITY — The “Dimes” nickname is open in New York now that quarterback Daniel Jones has been released by the Giants, and perhaps it can be a fitting team-wide moniker in another sport.
General Curtis LeMay: “You’re in a pretty big fix, Mr. President.”
Last spring’s ultimate defeat, coming on top of a quite similar one 24 months earlier, should have proved once and for all that the Rangers’ skill game, impressive at it at may be in spurts, does not overcome their physicality deficiency at the final-four level.
Jon Berti, who started three postseason games at first base for the Yankees when Anthony Rizzo was out with fractured fingers, was non-tendered by the team prior to Friday’s deadline, as was left-hander Tim Mayza.
CALGARY, Alberta — The Rangers needed just 16 seconds to get back into a game they had no business being in over halfway through.
