Brandon Nimmo reached out to Juan Soto during his free agency to tell him how positive his experience with the Mets has been and that he wanted Soto as his teammate, per @NYPost_Mets (on.sny.tv/Des2F8j) Nimmo on the Mets signing Soto away from the Yankees: “It’s amazing how [Cohen] has changed things for Mets fans, Mets players and this organization. It’s just a pivotal moment in his ownership and the history of the Mets franchise that he’s able to get a player away from the Yankees and a guy in his prime. Even when I was growing up, the Yankees always got the best players, they always bought the best players. It was just a common-known fact, and now you see something here where the Mets were able to bring [Soto] over. It’s a change to the way things have always been. I definitely think it is sweet to have done it this way.”
