"A Twitter post by @omzy__ connected TikTok comments alleging the Mets had offered Soto a 15-year, $700 million offer to an account that appeared to be run by one of the sons of Mets manager Carlos Mendoza."

Hey I Agree with your statement however your claim is a little misleading. According to Newsweek.com, many teams are in fact after Juan soto. Some offering 600 million to Soto but some also willing to offer 700 million to Soto. Although the mets can offer Soto the 700 million dollar contract, your claim is false because there is at least two other teams other than the mets such as the yankees and bluejays that are willing to pay for soto. "That means Toronto could offer Soto $700 million over 15 years if it believes he's worth it." This proves your claim to be misleading.

good analysis that accurately corrects the author. I like that you used a direct quote to show the misleading nature. I also appreciate your use of a second source. Adding even another source could help increase your credibility.
