  • So Soto

    So, apparently New Mets outfielder Juan Soto is back in the news this time saying he has not spoken to teammates. This comes as no surprise as there were reportedly problems last year with him and former leader of the Mets clubhouse, Pete Alonso.

    Now, not many legitimately know where Francisco Lindor stands in all of this but something seems fishy about the Mets situation. Just over one year ago, Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with deferrals to become part of the Mets 40-man roster. Things could not get worse for the Mets as they are on a 12 game losing streak and recorded a loss to the Minnesota Twins last night.

    There is no excuse for what is happening especially with GM David Stearns turn of events this offseason. He decided to flip the roster and listen to owner Steve Cohen.

    Soto did not leave the New York Yankees for this and now, so far, he is paying the price.

  • Pete Alonso Grows Strong

    Pete Alonso Grows Strong

    Pete Alonso grows strong for the main reason of never letting go. Alonso signed a two year, $54 million deal with the New York Mets during the offseason and it could not have helped more as he has payed dividends with the rumored drama between him and Juan Soto and gone to work with the power tools and terrific on-base percentage to add on NL leading doubles and RBI’s!

    This could not have come at a better time for GM David Stearns as he has not only been steering the ship but he equipped talent now to make him a genius this early in the game.

    Mets fans are clamoring as the team is currently 17-7 and why not. They are also singing like Charlie Blackmon is around to Francisco Lindor at-batTemptations’ song, “I Got Sunshine.”

    Alonso struggled wiith career lows after his great rookie season. For example, Alonso only hit 34 hit home runs and he is a home run king. Since 2019, Alonso has led the NL in homers and who is to say anybody can catch up anytime soon

    The question remains what agent Scott Boras will have up his sleeve come time December. Alonso signed for an opt-out so there may be some drama lingering. Although, the important thing is Alonso is feeling in the New York groove right now.

    He has been loyal to the city since Alonso first got there and I think 2026 we see Alonso return with the optimism of New York and owner Steve Cohen.

  • Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto

    Breaking: New York Mets Sign Juan Soto

    Soto is a Met. It is official. According to Jon Heyman, the deal is 15 years, $765 million. After an action packed day of NFL football and forgoing the wait of the MLB Winter Meetings down in Dallas, TX, Soto decided to jump the move and sign with the New York Mets.

    It is historic as it marks a record high compared to the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, and others.

    The Mets made a quick turnaround last midway through and who knows what they will be able to accomplish next year in the NL East division but they won and captured the most prized free agent and that was Soto.

  • Will Juan Soto Play the Cliff Lee Card?

    Will Juan Soto Play the Cliff Lee Card?

    Juan Soto has been compared to the great Ted Williams. Soto will however have to decide between a different team.

    Williams played for the Red Sox and he accomplished that for the majority of his career between 1939 and 1960. Days were different then.

    Now much is varying between Steinbrenner, Cohen, Middleton, Johnson ownership group, and cash.

    Cash might define the outcome of where Soto lands but what if it was said in a story, the mega star alongside currently Aaron Judge landed in Philadelphia and joined the Phillies.

    He would play with another MVP in Bryce Harper and have a good time playing in Citizens Bank Park which is 20 years old.

    The former Veterans Stadium is now exterminated and there is no better place to come out to the ball park and watch Soto and a lineup that played very consistent throughout 2024.

    The only problem was their postseason. Their postseason ran out of gas fuel similar to last year when the Phillies blew out their tires on the 2023 NL winning Arizona Diamondbacks.

    Soto came from a sketchy situation west in San Diego and managed to still post great numbers for the New York Yankees and lead them to a World Series in 15 years with a nicer smile than Jersey Mike deli post boy Anthony Volpe who did not prevail from last year’s gold glove to this year.

    Although, Soto needs to know. Cliff Lee was a sparkling legend and rest Doc Roy Halladay but his partner in crime also deserves honors in the baseball Hall of Fame.

    The New York Mets are the big fish, obviously, but there is reason to believe Soto becomes a Philadelphia Phillie for the right reason.

    It is for NBC Sports Philadelphia play-by-play Tom McCarthy to call the action like he has whether it has been Schwarbombs to opposite fields, Harper blowing others stare eyed and Soto gripping the bat like Williams and smacking one to the beginning of deep right field of Philadelphia Phillies Citizens Bank Park.
