Possibly there’s something to make out of Juan Soto not speaking to any 2024 Yankees teammates throughout his free company. However he additionally famous that he had zero conversations with Mets gamers.
That most likely would counsel that this was a monetary determination first, second and third, and he didn’t want to listen to from former or future teammates to sway him somehow.
And, if that had been the case, high-quality. Yankees followers can cry betrayal. However that does hypocritically miss that no group has plucked gamers away from one other group with a free-agent paycheck fairly just like the Yankees the previous half century. And I don’t bear in mind the pinstriped loyalists having sympathy, empathy or something far more than a superb snigger towards the fan bases elsewhere who had been bemoaning the lack of a cherished participant.
The final time Soto had a alternative the place he would work, he was an adolescent signing a $1.5 million bonus from the Nationals. He had no alternative when he was traded to first the Padres then the Yankees. Are you able to think about for those who had been traded out of your firm to a different throughout the nation — after which once more? It would make you assume much less about loyalty and extra about your self.
