First things first: Juan Soto is not miraculously rejoining the Yankees this year.
But the evidence keeps piling up and we can’t keep ignoring it. The player who signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets in December is not the same player who batted behind Aaron Judge last season. He’s gone on record saying he was ready to re-sign with the Bronx Bombers before the Mets made their offer.
The man is 2 for his last 17. He is batting a meager .247 with eight home runs and 20 RBI, and not in the same headspace.
