I don't know why the Rays leaked this. Nobody believes it.


Blue Jays will be the brides maids again

I'd imagine it comes down to how he feels about pressure / the media.

Significantly less of that if you play for the Metropolitans, even with Daddy Warbucks as their owner.
Don't think Soto is a guy who cares about pressure too much. Just gonna come down to money. Yankees are of course loaded, but Uncle Steve has shown that he will pay over the top for the players that he wants.

The Yankees own NY (in terms of fanbase/following/narrative etc.) so there would be pressure for dipping out from NYY and going to 'little brother' on a historic contract.

I think he stays with Yankees. I don't think Mets are any closer to a World Series than they are and I think the Yankees will do whatever it takes to match what Mets might try to spend on him.

He's a 'gamer' and wants to win as well (yes cliche, but true). So who he believes can better win a world series in neat future is also a factor.
