Juan Soto has shown signs of unhappiness in the Mets' clubhouse, according to Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay. His lack of energy and unhappiness is notable, especially after he signed a historic 15-year, $765 million deal. Kay reveals that Soto wanted to stay with the Yankees, but family influences pushed him towards the Mets due to their comfort with the team's executives. Despite his record contract, Soto's demeanor raises questions about his satisfaction and integration within the team environment.
People that I talked to on the Mets side, and they can deny it publicly, because, of course, that's what they have to do, he is very, very glum around the clubhouse. He does not have a hop in his step. He does not smile much. I'm not gonna say he is unhappy. Because how can you be unhappy with a $765 million contract? But money is not a guarantee that you are gonna be comfortable somewhere.
Why isn't he happy? It comes down to this. I'll say it now, and it will be denied. Of course, it has to be denied. But I have talked to people that I respect. He wanted to return to the Yankees. That was his preference. His family said, 'You are going to the Mets.' His family felt very comfortable around Alex and Steve Cohen.
