Juan Soto revealed his motivations for choosing the New York Mets over the Yankees, noting the family-friendly environment created by Mets owner Steve Cohen. Soto expressed concerns about the long-term prospects of the Yankees, despite having originally wanted to return. He acknowledged the solid support from the Yankees during his tenure but appreciated Cohen's efforts to make his family feel welcomed. While citing the Mets as offering better chances for success as he embarks on a massive contract, Soto maintained no hard feelings towards the Yankees despite a past security incident that involved his family.
As you see how long this contract is going to be, it just came down to that decision, you know? What do they have in the farm system?
I mean, the effort that he puts in, he put a lot of things out there. They put my family into it. My family, and the way they take care of everything.
The Yankees were No. 1, From Day One. They gave him the best chances to win during his 15-year, $765 million contract.
They asked if I was upset by Yankees team security last year. He said nothing happened.
