Soto’s tailspin continues with disastrous outing vs. Red Sox

Date:


If the New York Mets weren’t already worried about their 15-year, $765M investment in Juan Soto, they should be. 

Entering Wednesday night’s road game against the Boston Red Sox, the Mets right fielder had slashed .247/.379/.437 in 48 games. In 157 regular-season games with the New York Yankees last season, he slashed .288/.419/.569. 

To help the Mets find an offensive spark, New York manager Carlos Mendoza moved Soto from second to third in the batting order. Mets right fielder Starling Marte hit second, and first baseman Pete Alonso hit fourth.

“There’s a good chance I’ll keep those guys at three and four,” Mendoza said before the game, via Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News. “Then, we’ll go from there.” 

Mendoza should reconsider that strategy after Soto had an awful outing against Boston. He struck out on his first two at-bats, even though he didn’t swing once.
