Juan Soto, after signing the largest contract in sports history, faced backlash for his lackluster hustle during an important moment in a tie game against the Yankees. Fans expressed their displeasure on social media, highlighting his slow effort during an eighth-inning ground ball, which could have impacted the game's outcome. This incident occurred as Soto struggled throughout the Subway Series, evidenced by his poor performance overall. The mounting criticism reflects the high expectations placed on him as a premier player with a record-breaking contract.
"Juan Soto obviously should have hustled here. Not sure what he was thinking," Ben Yoel wrote on X.
"How the f-k do you not hustle here? Thatâs terrible," Jomboy's Jack Oliver wrote.
"Soto is playing so lackadaisically right now and I don't get it. No shuffle. No intensity. Jogging out of the box in the 8th inning of a tie game..." Mets Avenue wrote.
"Soto's hustle has been absolutely horrible this weekend," wrote @MaddlxDJ64.
