Juan Soto is having a far-from-good season at the New York Mets.
The Dominican Republic-born outfielder signed a historic 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets but couldn’t quite deliver.
He has had a rocky start to the season. Soto is hitting just .224 with a .352 on-base percentage, along with eight home runs and 25 RBIs through 55 games. That’s too low for the NY fans to buy the Soto dream.
However, the 4x All-Star faced a row of online humiliation for his excitement towards something related to his roots.
Recently, Haugland Group, a construction company, gifted Soto a Dominican Republic-themed Mets jersey.

Although, there’s not quite a lot of love for him outside the team environment. The Mets fans on social media are not loving his latest video.
“If only he gave a fuck about hitting as much as he did this jersey!” a fan commented.
