Juan Soto Calls Mets Prospect Benge 'Big-Time,' Shifts to Left Field

Juan Soto met Mets No. 2 prospect Carson Benge, calling him a "big-time prospect" and expressing excitement for his contributions. Soto, who will move to left field, creating a potential opening for Benge in right, told Benge to ask if he ever needs anything. Benge, the Mets' 2024 first-round pick, hit .281/.385/.472 with 15 homers and 22 stolen bases across three Minor League levels last year, playing strong defense in both center and right field.
