NextImg:Padres’ Juan Soto should be on Mets, Yankees radars if available

There’s been the suggestion the Padres may scale back after failing to make the playoffs with the third-highest payroll.

And some believe Juan Soto, who’s a year from free agency, could be up for trade discussion.

Not sure selling is in their DNA, but in case, the Yankees, who badly need left-handed hitters, make sense.

(And no one should ever rule Steve Cohen out, of course.)

One exec suggests: It should be patterned after the Mookie Betts deal since it features a superstar with a year to go (though hopefully it would turn out fairer).

The Padres are unpredictable, however, as they were supposed to have only $5M to spend last winter and wound up signing Xander Bogaerts for $280M.

Juan Soto has one year left on his contract before hitting free agency.

Could Padres manager Bob Melvin be a possibility for the Mets?

They pursued him before he chose the Padres for geographic reasons.

Could another manager option be Walt Weiss, the well-respected Suffern product who’s thriving as Braves bench coach after serving as Rockies manager?

    He loves Detroit, but Eduardo Rodriguez is expected to opt out with $49M and three years to go.

    For the Red Sox’s top exec job, either of two Dodgers execs could fit: Massachusetts product Brandon Gomes or ex-Red Sox exec Josh Byrnes.

    A’s GM David Forst, a Harvard man, also makes sense.

    One theory heard: Is it possible the pitch clock was a detriment to veteran managers used to having more time to warm up relievers?

    While the Yankees’ year is a disaster, they learned a few things late, like Michael King is a viable starter, Jasson Dominguez may be ready and Austin Wells may too.

    The pitchers like throwing to Wells, and the lefty bat plays.
