The article discusses the excitement surrounding Juan Soto's signing with the Mets, particularly from player Brandon Nimmo. Nimmo expresses joy not only in acquiring Soto, a star player, but also in outcompeting the Yankees for his signing. He reflects on the historical dominance of the Yankees in acquiring top talent, noting the shift in power dynamics. The sentiment conveyed is one of vindication for Mets fans, as they celebrate the signing as a sign of progress and a newfound competitiveness against their rivals.
As much as Nimmo was thrilled the Mets had signed a player of Soto's caliber, the added delight was in beating the Yankees for a player they also wanted.
When I was growing up, the Yankees always got the best players, they always bought the best players...now you see something here where the Mets were able to bring [Soto] over.
It's a change to the way things have always been. I definitely think it's sweet to have done it this way.
In a sense, 'little brother' - a disparaging term Yankees fans have for the Mets - had caught up with 'big brother.'
