These reports that Juan Soto <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/19/sports/juan-soto-is-very-very-glum-inside-mets-clubhouse-michael-kay/">wanted to be a Yankee</a> are no more than guesses, but Soto did admit a week ago to The Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/15/sports/juan-soto-ready-for-yankee-stadium-lions-den-after-mets-decision-that-shocked-inner-circle/">he’s still “adjusting” to the dynamics of his new team.</a> (Although he maintained he didn’t regret the Mets call.)

When he re-starts the Soto Shuffle, that’s when you’ll know he’s really comfortable.

Remember, all these greats started slow with a new team in New York: Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran and Francisco Lindor. And none of them had a $765 million contract.

No disrespect intended (maybe), but a Yankees person opined they’re “definitely” better off, referring to the terrific pivot.
