Darryl Strawberry, the Mets' franchise's best left-handed hitter, praised Juan Soto for choosing the Mets over the Yankees. He believes this move allows Soto to become the team's focal point, helping him reach new career heights. Strawberry highlighted the importance of having standout players like Soto, who signed a long-term deal worth $765 million. This, according to him, not only elevates the team's performance but also benefits Soto as he can focus solely on his game in New York, without the overshadowing presence of other stars, like Aaron Judge with the Yankees.
It takes you to the next level when you have that type of player. Last year was a great run for them and they found themselves missing that one guy in the lineup, that stud.
Juan Soto with the Mets, yeah, you have [Francisco] Lindor, who's great, but if you play over there [with the Yankees] with a guy like [Aaron] Judge, you're never gonna be bigger than him.
