Juan Soto already used to ‘different vibe’ in spring training after his Mets arrival matches the hype
NY Post
PORT ST. LUCIE — Juan Soto’s one-season stop with the Yankees may have served as the perfect primer for the All-Star outfielder as he begins the first of potentially 15 spring trainings with the Mets.
As Soto, in his first workout with his new team, participated in conditioning drills Sunday, fans stood behind a chain-link fence and called his name.
A large media gathering later followed Soto to Clover Park’s main field to watch him take batting practice.
For players new to the scene, it might have seemed like the circus.
Soto, already used to it — he helped the Yankees reach the World Series last year — took events in stride.
“[New York] is a different vibe,” Soto said. “You have so many eyes on you. You have so many teams that want to come in and beat you because you are part of the city. Broadway and everything, everybody wants to come in and beat the New York teams.”
If you can’t fix it, kill it, says Kevin Durant.
Yes, there are red flags to be wary of. Yes, there should be skepticism if a good team is willingly getting rid of a player.
