So Juan Soto, who is injured, has allegedly not even spoken to his teammates during this 12-game skid.
I always kind of wondered what a player's real role is when they are injured. I remember seeing Casey Mize on the bench when he was on the Injured List. I've seen other players around teammates when they were not eligible to play.
As far as Soto and the Mets - I feel like that is a team just completely broken on every single level and no amount of money can fix that. I don't know that the ghost of Billy Martin could get them right for half a season. He didn't have SOMETHING he could have offered to his mates? Who was the pitcher who refused to travel or even stay with teammates, ,was that Kevin Brown? I get it, some guys are assholes, but it seems like if you really want to win, you'd want to be around your teammates through thick and thin, But Soto got his money, so he's good. No need to bother. Says so much about the Mets, doesn't it?
I don't know what I'd be like if someone paid me ridiculous money to do my job, but I would hope that I'd try to lift everyone up.
I wanted Bo Bichette for the Tigers.........but not for $42 million a year. That's going gangbusters.
