Nobody will live under a tighter microscope in New York sports than Juan Soto. Leaving the New York Yankees for the New York Mets made it a large enough story. Tack on 765 million more reasons with his record-breaking contract and it’s no surprise why he’s going to be an everyday talking point among sports fans.

“Soto is a great team player. He worries about having good at-bats for the team,” Lindor told NJ Advance Media. “The truth is that nobody took what he said in any negative way. He’s one of the best players in the game, and all he wants to do is win games.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor insisted that he and others within the clubhouse weren't bothered by Juan Soto's words.
