Mets stars Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor took part in Amazin' Day at Citi Field on Saturday, and spoke with reporters about the team's two biggest offseason storylines: Pete Alonso's free agency and Juan Soto signing to play in Queens.

With the support of owner Steve Cohen, the Mets stole Juan Soto from the Yankees with a historic 15-year, $765 million deal.
