After signing a 15-year, $765 million contract this past offseason to join the New York Mets, the spotlight has been on superstar Juan Soto all season. Coming from the crosstown rival New York Yankees, Soto has been under fire for his decision to leave the Bronx in favor of Queens.

“Soto is a great team player. He worries about having good at-bats for the team,” Lindor told NJ Advance Media. “The truth is that nobody took what he said in any negative way. He’s one of the best players in the game, and all he wants to do is win games.

Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor insisted that he and others within the clubhouse weren't bothered by Juan Soto's words.
