Juan Soto had a stellar 2024 with the New York Yankees, leading to a substantial trade and subsequent departure for a record-setting contract with the Mets. As he prepares to return to Yankee Stadium, expectations are high amidst mixed reactions following his impressive but ultimately underwhelming start to the 2025 season. Soto acknowledges the raucous reception he expects from fans, demonstrating an awareness of the pressure he faces under his hefty contract despite his previous success.
It's going to be 50,000 against one. They're going to try to get on me, you know. It's part of it. Whatever they do, they have the right to do it. I'm just going to go out there and do my stuff.
Despite strong expectations due to his record contract, Soto's performance with the Mets has been below his career standards, batting .255 with eight home runs.
