Boras clients failed to dominate the market last winter. Now Boras is back with a stacked roster and a chance to prove that was just a blip.

With it appearing more and more the free-agent slugger is a priority for the team this offseason, Mets owner Steve Cohen plans to travel to Southern California next week to meet with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, according to industry sources. Several other owners are expected to meet with Boras and Soto in the coming weeks.

There are echoes of Bryce Harper’s free agency in the Soto sweepstakes, right down to the young age at which they reached the market. Soto wants an owner committed to winning, the agent says.
