Covino - Juan Soto Comes off As a Selfish Player

[@beeewest9442]

Soto gets the mercenary tag because he wanted to wait till free agency. He didn’t request a trade from the Nats. He didn’t request a trade from San Diego. They didn’t want to lose him for nothing. Soto wanted the chance to pick his team and get as much money as he can. How does that make him a bad guy? Giambi; Texeria; Damon ; Cole etc all chose money and maybe a chance to win. But primarily money. Mets finally do the same thing, and now Soto is a selfish bad teammate?

[@DavidGarcia-qb3st]

This is Just. I hate about Yankee fans because they didn’t get him. They start talking bad about him.

[@setokaibasbankaccount9109]

Yes and it’s well deserved

[@RetiredandTraveling1755]

@DavidGarcia-qb3st I am a fan and wouldn't do it but I also understand it because most had expectations for Soto to come back

[@DavidGarcia-qb3st]

@ and that’s bad how many people the Mets try to get in the Yankees took them from the Mets and us as Mets fans don’t talk about at least me anyway don’t talk about the person you guys took from us

[@RetiredandTraveling1755]

@DavidGarcia-qb3st I am telling brother I would never do it but if that was to with super athlete from Mets Astros Boston after that athlete had been there for a year many would be up in arms losing it on any side, to me I am a fan not a fanatic and it just so happen that from the beginning I said if the Mets are willing outbid the Yankees, let the Mets have him. God bless you.

[@Nitro183]

Soto is still valuable to the team. Of course Lindor is the captain but Soto is going to make pitchers throw more pitches which burns their stamina and he has WS ring. Aaron judge doesn't have one

He was there for less then a year smh

[@MichaelAngelo-l5s]

But you see it's that yankee fan sense of entitlement that they have.

[@yourbestbet3485]

The players union encourages their membership to go for maximum dollars. Not to “reach out” to a teammate that is a free agent. I don’t know if Soto is an a-hole or not. But I do know team chemistry is not nearly as important as it is in Basketball, Football, or Hockey. The Bronx Bummers and Oakland A’s won multiple titles without having great so called chemistry… Let’s Go Mets!!!!

[@honcho875]

Soto made it clear when he was on the Nats that he was going to wait until his free agency to get the most money on a long term deal, this is exactly what he wanted from the beginning I don’t understand the betrayal narrative

You can’t hate a player for selling him self to the highest bitter Anyone in his shoes would of done the same Soto didn’t lie to no one, once the WS was done, he said he is open to talk to everyone… its not like he promised the Yankees he would be a Yankees and then pull a quick one them The reason its a big deal is because Yankees got Yankeed! First ever one was crying about the Dodgers now about the Mets Fans, players and owners need to realize what MLB stands for = “Millionaires lose to Billionaires” It’s new analytics of the MLB

Lol not a yankees fan..but he's not even the best player in his own team.. best hitter yes.. best overall player? No.. terribly overpriced..

[@Deltaaaaaaaaa]

Soto is a hell of a player. Any team would be happy to have him. However, he is certainly a selfish player. The Yankees offered him the most money overall and most years. He balked because of a family suite. That just tells me he always planned to leave the Yankees and didn’t have the balls to tell them in time for the Yankees to adjust fire and sign some of the best FAs that were available while chasing Soto. It’s also incredibly telling that not one Yankee wanted to talk to him after the season. Aaron Judge is notoriously a nice guy and goes out of his way to try and help land FAs. Judge could’ve cared less about reaching out to Soto. Tells you a lot.

The media these days are so comfortable saying these stupid things on-purpose! PRO ATHLETES DESERVE THE MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF MONEY THEY EARN = NYY CHOSE not to make the BEST offer to SOTO, so he went across the street to the team, who's obviously MORE DESPERATE for a WORLD SERIES WIN, than NYY are because they just let their BEST PLAYER ON OFFENCE, walk right out the door, when GEORGE STEINBRENNER would've never + the REST OF THE TEAM "CHOKED" during the same series, SOTO thrived in, with "0" help from his teammates = he made the right choice + he's not TRAPPED or being held HOSTAGE by the Yankees, who refuse to improve their team every season, for no logical/rational reasons they can articulate logically/rationally

[@tonylauria8496]

Soto is not a great player; he's a great hitter. He has only 3 of the 5 tools great players have. He hits for average and power and has a strong arm, but is a middle to poor fielder and lacks speed.

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

He ranks low on arm strength. He ranks highly on throwing accuracy.

Its funny that the guy whos all about himself helped the Yankees go to the WS in the 1st season he was there. But Judge who comes off as the team guy hasnt went once without Soto 😂 And if Soto was such a bad guy in that clubhouse why offer him that much money over 15yrs. I say that to say. If Soto was such a bad guy what does that say about the Yankees who wanted to give him a 16yr contract

What will have happened if when “steroids chocker “ Judge was Free Agent ,. Steve Cohen will have offered 500 million for him?

[@NGLaw56]

He was there for one season. What makes you think he gave everyone in the Yankees organization his personal number in that time?

[@CyberOrganic]

Not a single Yankees player reached out to him, not even Judge. That says a lot. The best thing Soto do was leave.

[@luisdavila2108]

There is no issue with him leaving and getting best deal. The problem is right after the Yankees lost the World Series immediately after the game he told reporters all 30 teams can reach out to him for a deal. That was stone cold and could have been said another day. They just lost. That is what everyone saw and why no one probably reached out to him. That was selfish and mean move.

[@justanothergoy5900]

Gerritt Cole said the same thing when he left the Astros and not one Yankee fan cared because he ended up a Yankee…hypocrisy

[@luisdavila2108]

@ Gerrit Cole did not lose and did not discuss leaving until later. It is ok Juan Soto left. Discussing all 30 teams can call me minutes after a world series loss shows his personality and that is not ok. It is disrespectful and not considerate to your team and fans. Alot were saying that at that point and not when he said he wants to go to Mets. No hypocrisy with that in anyway.

[@Mr91Jmay]

@@luisdavila2108Cole literally took his Astros cap off in the Astros locker room and wore a Boras cap straight after he lost

[@luisdavila2108]

@ I am not sure about that and if that was live on TV like Soto disrespecting fans and team. Who cares for a known cheating franchise that stole championships from Dodgers, Yankees and others by pointing cameras at pitching mound. They deserve no respect and they are known to penny pinch their players and give no long term deals compared to other teams so of course they will leave. Not to be compared to Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, etc.

[@cd.cd.cd.cd-cd]

this is the bitter dude mad he didnt get the girl he chased so now all of a sudden once you lost her to anothe dude she "not a good girl"....umm, ok buddy then why'd you chase after her in he first place? yankee management wouldnt have offered 16 years at damn near 800 mil if he was known to be "selfish", stop it this is also a case of yall reading way too much into a process you clearly don’t understand. I saw an old clip of Judge after he signed his deal saying during his free agency period he shut people out and only spoke with his fam and friends, saw another clip of Lindor saying he only spoke to Soto once then left him alone because he didn’t wanna selfishly stress his out. Seems to me the process these players go thru when deciding where to go next is something many of us simply are not familiar with so whatever assumptions you have about how it works are likely wrong
