Growing up seeing George Steinbrenner’s Yankees pull off these coups annually, it’s beyond surreal to see the Mets become that team.
Juan Soto is headed to Queens.

One of the best hitters the game has seen.
His defense on the other hand? Has always been very questionable. Cost us a few key plays this World Series, which is really making okay with not giving him potentially 800 million dollars.
Juan Soto took $5M more to play in the same city he was in
It’s clear he couldn’t take being the 2nd best player on his team
