Soto questions MLB’s cap plan as Mets’ massive payroll looms

MLB’s first salary-cap offer would set a $245.3 million cap and a $171.2 million floor for 2027 with a 50-50 revenue split. Juan Soto, the center of the Mets’ $765 million contract, would take up a large slice of cap space, prompting him to reject the idea and argue baseball is thriving without a cap. Mets teammates and the union oppose caps, warning it could worsen payroll disparity, while the current Mets payroll sits around $368 million and Soto accounts for about 16% of it. The debate underscores the difficulty of fitting huge preexisting contracts under a hard cap and may involve transition provisions.

Soto’s Silence During Mets Slide Draws Attention, But Veterans Say It’s Normal

Juan Soto said he hasn’t spoken to Mets teammates during their 12-game losing streak after returning from the injured list, citing travel and time apart. Veteran Mets players told The Athletic that such silence is normal for an injured player who’s out of sight, with leadership occasionally texting but not mandatory. Soto emphasized his focus is on helping end the Mets’ longest skid since 2002, and while his comments drew attention, teammates welcomed his return to the lineup as the team looks to snap the slide.

Soto Set to Return as Mets Try to End Slump

The Mets plan to reinstate Juan Soto from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday after a right calf strain, returning without a rehab assignment; Soto posted a .355/.412/.516 line in eight games before going on IL, and his return is hoped to help halt a franchise-worst 7-15 start and an 11-game skid. The outfield has struggled in Soto’s absence; the club will need to option someone from the roster to make room, with Hayden Senger or Carson Benge among the candidates, while MJ Melendez has contributed in a small DH stint.
