After signing with the New York Mets, Juan Soto had his first press conference. Soto broke the record by signing the biggest deal in major league baseball. Steve Cohen and the Mets have paid the price to sign the star slugger for the next 15 years.
Yankees fans were unhappy with Soto’s decision to sign with the Mets. However, many believe that it all happened for the best, especially after Soto’s picture at Citi Field surfaced online. Soto entered City Field for the first time in a Mets jersey after officially signing with the team.
The image of the slugger surfaced online, and MLB fans were quick to react to his alleged ‘out-of-shape’ look. Fans trolled the All-Star, and some were even more happy that he did not sign with the Yanks.

Juan Soto Shares Bold Message After Signing With The Mets
Juan Soto has already taken steps to settle down with the Mets. Soto stated that the team’s desire to win championships has been an important aspect for him to sign with them. He is hoping to build a dynasty with the Mets after his mega contract.
“What they have done in the past couple of years, showing all the ability to keep winning, to keep growing a team, to try to grow a dynasty is one of the most important things,” Soto said.
He further said that New York has been a Mets town for a long time, and they are ready to bring it to the top. The Yankees might have missed out on Juan Soto, but they are making progress with Cody Bellinger.
