Citi Field wasn’t exactly a happy place this week, and for a good reason. It almost seems like the New York Mets are following in the New York Yankees’ footsteps, at least when you look at the performances lately. They are in a funk, and fans are running out of patience.
It all started in West, when the Mets got swept by the San Diego Padres in a series that exposed the cracks of the team. Then came the loss against the Giants, when they dropped two of three in front of their crowd. And as if that was not good enough, they followed it up by losing the first two games to the Cleveland Guardians.
Three straight losses in August—and this was the team that was supposed to be chasing a division title. So, of course, frustration boiled over when Juan Soto stepped up to the plate in the Guardians series.

The moment felt unreal, but that’s the bitter truth—Juan Soto, the $760 million man, the gem of the off-season last time, getting booed at home. Not at Yankee Stadium but at Citi Field. Ouch! But it was not just about one at-bat; it was about 11 straight innings without one hit. That team looks flatlined, and Soto is having to bear the brunt of it. And why not?
When you are paid that much, that comes at a price—the weight of expectations.
