A lot has been made about Mets teammates Juan Soto’s relationship with Francisco Lindor. In an exclusive interview with Dominican journalist Luz Maria Garcia that was posted on YouTube this weekend, Soto offered his side of the story on his relationship with Lindor. When asked about his teammate, Soto replied:

The New York Mets and San Diego Padres are reportedly in trade discussions despite the respective stars of each team being left out of negotiations.

Throughout the early offseason, even as they parted with franchise stalwarts Pete Alonso, Brandon Nimmo and Edwin Díaz, Mets officials insisted that this was not a rebuild or a reset, but a reshaping of the roster.

The New York Mets lost two superstars this week, but also lost a breakout pitcher from the minor leagues in the Rule 5 Draft.

The New York Mets added some interesting pitching depth via free agency this weekend. They've signed a right-handed pitcher named Daniel Duarte to a contract. The signing was reported on MLB.com's transactions page, with it noted first by MLB Trade Rumors.
