A Private Jet And "Begging" Not To Be Mic'd Up: Juan Soto's Awful Subway Series

The first round of the 2025 Subway Series proved to be very storytelling in terms of Juan Soto and his lack of production this season.

We all knew Juan Soto’s return to the Bronx would be ugly with boo’s and a lot of fu*k you’s from the Yankees loyalists. But his return somehow was a lot worse.

Soto originally agreed to be mic’d up in the second inning of game three of the subway series, just to back out minutes prior to the start of the game. Reports say that Soto was "begging' not to be mic'd up.

Players who get mic'd up get $10,000 and answer questions from fans that the broadcast picks out.

We are in the middle of May and are yet to see the Soto Shuffle or even yet Juan Soto smiling in a Mets uniform. Well we did technically see Soto smiling, but that was when he was talking to former teammate Aaron Judge and manger Aaron Boone.

Soto’s body language has been awful to begin the season. Numerous reports saying Soto isn’t comfortable on the Mets even go as far as saying he regrets his decision.

Per Michael Kay, “People in the know say that Juan Soto wanted to be a Yankee. He chose the Yankees, but his family wanted him to be a Met so he chose the Mets.”

After game three of the subway series, where Soto was held hitless, the Mets newly-acquired star ghosted the press. Soto reportedly told a Mets official after he got dressed that he’ll be back as he walked out the door. Soto never returned and no questions were answered. 

Soto went a combined 1-for-10 (.100) in the series with three strikeouts and four walks. At the end of the day it was a bad weekend for Soto. 

It also emerged that on top of his own private suite for his family, the Mets also gave Juan Soto also a private jet charter. Getting a private Jet for away games while your teammates have to travel as normal is absolutely crazy work. There is no wonder why there’s a disconnect between him and his teammates. 

(NOTE: Per Jeff Passan, "Juan Soto does not fly separately." This claim contradicts several claims which state that Soto uses a private jet.)

In 46 games this season, Soto has a .246 average with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs. The nearly-billion dollar man on the Mets also has 37 walks compared to 33 strikeouts while accompanied by a .822 OPS.
