The New York Mets are having a great season, irrespective of Juan Soto’s performance. While Soto is contributing to their success, he’s often criticized. Many believe that the slugger is unhappy with his new team. However, Soto seems to be having fun, and he’s picking up the pace slowly.
It’s not surprising that Soto is taking a while to adjust to the team. His initial days were worse, and many, including Michael Kay, felt he wanted to get back to the Yankees. Kay suggested that family considerations heavily influenced Soto’s decision to sign with the Mets.
Now that his performance has improved, Mets fans accused Kay of fabricating the “glum” story to generate controversy. Kay, who’s known to speak his mind, lashed out at fans for their take.
“Mets fans cannot enjoy any kind of success. They always have to have a grievance. They always have to have something to complain about. The little gnats that, for some reason, I live rent-free in their mind,” Kay said.
Fans called out Kay for making up stuff since his radio show failed.

“I don’t let fleas go on the back of lions. And you’re all fleas. Well, you simpletons, that’s not the case at all. My radio show didn’t fail. It was a rousing success. Do they realize that they are lying punks that are just saying stuff in order to fit their narrative … moronic, dumb, ill-informed,” Kay continued via New York Sports.

New York Mets Continue To Top The National League
Juan Soto and his team have been incredible this season, they not only sit on top of the NL East, but they hold the best record in the National League. Even the mighty Dodgers are one game behind despite tying their last series.
Pete Alonso remains a bright spot for his team. His consistent performance has helped them win crucial games. It’s clear that the Mets are going to the playoffs and have a great shot at making the World Series. Currently, they are ranked at No. 2 in the Week 10 MLB power rankings.
