The Mets had an unusual off-day following a series where they lost two of three to begin the season. Despite this, standout performances from Juan Soto provided hope, as he hit the team's only home run and was frequently on base. However, the rest of the key players struggled significantly, raising concern for how they can support Soto moving forward. Notably, Francisco Lindor, who also struggled, feels more confident in his abilities compared to last season. The team aims to move forward positively as they head to Miami.
Soto was contemplative about the 1-2 record they take to Miami. "This is the first [series]. It didn't go as expected ... It is what it is."
Lindor has yet to record a hit in 11 at-bats - although he said he feels much better at the plate than he did last year..."
Soto doesn't seem negatively affected by his record paycheck ($126 million, counting the signing bonus, for 2025 alone).
