Juan Soto Re-energized for Mets Post-All-Star Push

Juan Soto remains a focal point of MLB trade speculation as the league heads into the second half of the season. The Mets' lone All-Star, who recorded the National League's only hit through the first seven innings of the All-Star Game, feels re-energized for a team turnaround. Soto has also publicly voiced opposition to the league's proposed salary cap, emphasizing that there is still time to negotiate a deal to avoid potential conflict for the 2027 season.
