Juan Soto -- looking like a bust for the Mets

Or if he just doesn't care as much now that he will be billionaire if he manages his money properly.

Good take by the Yankees.

I guess Soto thought different than you, look at him now.

First ballot hall of famer for sure.

The batting average is a little low, but turns out to be a pretty decent season after all.

38 home runs is worth a lot of money , 29 steals, 109 runs, 93 rbis, Leads the league in walks and on base percentage

Yep, you guys are right. He's putting up good numbers for the good guys. Probably a good bet to make the Hall.

But I still don't like him. I'd rather watch Mike Trout with one good knee. Or Nestor Cortes dusting himself off and hanging in there with everyone booing him.

Speaking of Trout, in a way it's sad to watch him apparently relegated to being a .230 hitter for a mediocre team.

It is sad in a way, but I really admire him for sticking with the Angels when he could've pulled the rip cord. He never badmouths his teammates. He'll be a first ballot, inner circle Hall of Famer who played in one jersey. Respect.
