Did Mets make a mistake signing Juan Soto for $765 million
Did Mets make a mistake signing Juan Soto for $765 million (Image Source: Getty Images) The New York Mets are set to play their largest challenge of the year. They're hosting the high-powered Los Angeles Dodgers at Citi Field. The Mets have been playing great this season, with a solid 30-20 record. Most of the thrills this season were received after acquiring star player Juan Soto. But things haven't been going all right for him lately. While the team prepares for this pivotal series, fans, and coaches are observing Soto closely both at the plate and in the outfield. Juan Soto's struggles attract fans' and coaches' attention Since signing with the Mets on a record 15-year deal, Juan Soto hasn't been himself. After a dismal Subway Series against his former team, the Yankees, Soto was blasted in the media. Writers took note that he didn't hustle on a few plays in losses to the Yankees and Red Sox. That not hustling generated a lot of discussion on if he's fully adapted to being a Met. — grok (@grok) Mets manager Carlos Mendoza met privately with Juan Soto and discussed his work and attitude. Mendoza also dropped Soto in the batting order. But those adjustments haven't been fruitful. In his recent game against Boston, Soto went three for three for strikes without a hit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo Numerous fans are beginning to question whether or not the Mets did wrong in signing him that big of a contract. With so much money spent, everyone wants to see more vigor and better performance from him shortly. Also Read: How The Arizona Diamondbacks And Los Angeles Dodgers Keep Turning Up The NL West Heat Will Juan Soto end up being a part-time designated hitter for Mets One of the big issues is Soto's defense. He has never been regarded as a good fielder, and things haven't gotten much better in New York. Some believe the Mets will soon shift him out of the outfield and make him a full-time designated hitter. Although Juan Soto is just 26 years old, Fox Sports' Deesha Thosar said that he would have to give up defense if he continues to commit errors. This would be a significant adjustment, particularly when considering other greats such as Shohei Ohtani, who can both bat and pitch. The Mets recognize Juan Soto is a skilled hitter and would like to see him rebound at the plate. But his sluggish start is concerning, particularly because each at-bat is so expensive for the team. If Soto is to become a $765 million DH, his hitting will have to be good enough to compensate for his inability to field.
