The nice thing is that the Mets no longer have to win now. They not only have Soto as part of a fairly young core, they have a good farm system that’s ready to bolster the roster as soon as this season. Injuries have stalled the development of some top prospects -- Ronny Mauricio and Christian Scott, mainly -- yet there’s still depth and upside on the way. The early Guggenheim Dodgers spent a lot of money on the major-league roster in the mid-2010s while building an infrastructure that allowed them to eventually have a more homegrown team in the late 2010s. The Mets are on the cusp of making that same turn.
