New York Mets

signed

Juan Soto

to a phenomenal $765 million contract, the expectations from the Dominican star skyrocketed instantly. The former New York

Yankees star

went on to become an overnight sensation after joining hands with the Mets for the upcoming 15 seasons. With a few games in the

2025 MLB season

, Juan Soto has been diverting the media attention and backlash for all the wrong reasons.
Recently, an MLB insider blasted the Mets’ $765 million star as he failed to live up to expectations on the field.

Mets’ Juan Soto comes under the scanner for his fading killer instinct

Juan Soto has been under pressure ever since he joined hands with the Mets back in December 2024. He not only became the talk of the town but also went on to grab one of the biggest deals in the history of Major League Baseball. However, for an athlete like Juan Soto, it is quite normal to have high expectations when he is on the mound, but despite all the buzz around his deal and calibre, the Mets star had a tumultuous start to the 2025 MLB season. A few games into the ongoing season, Soto has become the hotbed of discussion due to the lack of spark in his performance.

Recently, Barstool Sports’ prominent face Frank Fleming did not mince his words while talking about the absence of spark and killer instincts in the former Yankees stars’ performance during the 2025 MLB season. Fleming took to X and blasted Soto. He wrote on his X handle-
“I have not seen a competitive at-bat from Juan Soto in 10 days.”

However, a reaction like this for Juan Soto is quite normal, as he created waves in the MLB world with his $765 million contract with the New York Mets. As the deal amount was so huge, the expectation from the Dominican star was doubled too, but with a rocky start to the 2025 MLB season has not left his fans devastated but also their expectations are coming crashing down on the ground. Well, not much can be predicted about the former Yankees star as the 2025 season has just started.
