Juan Soto Reveals Strange Secrets About New York Mets in Shocking Interview
In a startling interview on Wednesday, star outfielder Juan Soto revealed some unexpected and strange details about his brief experience with the New York Mets during the 2023 season. Speaking candidly about his time in the Big Apple, Soto shed light on quirky behind-the-scenes dynamics that had not been previously disclosed.
Soto, who was traded to the Mets in a midseason deal, began by admitting that he was initially taken aback by the team’s unique atmosphere. “I’ve played in a lot of ballparks, but there’s something about the Mets that’s different,” Soto said with a smile. “The energy is just… unpredictable. Sometimes it feels like there’s this invisible force driving everyone in ways I couldn’t explain.”
When pressed for more details, Soto revealed an odd tradition within the Mets’ locker room—players reportedly engage in an unusual pre-game ritual involving a mix of meditation, humor, and even “secret handshakes” that some newcomers, including Soto, found perplexing. “They don’t let you in until you prove you’re one of them,” Soto joked, describing how rookies and trade acquisitions had to perform quirky tasks to bond with teammates. “It’s all in good fun, but it definitely catches you off guard when you first arrive.”
Additionally, Soto mentioned how some Mets players are notorious for “weird superstitions” around game time. “There’s a player who insists on wearing the same socks for every home game, and another who only eats peanut butter sandwiches before batting practice. It’s a whole other world over there.”
Despite these strange dynamics, Soto spoke highly of the Mets’ passionate fanbase and the team’s commitment to winning. “There’s something special about that place. Even if the quirks take a while to understand, the talent is undeniable.”
Though Soto is now back with the San Diego Padres, his bizarre anecdotes have left Mets fans eagerly debating what goes on behind the scenes at Citi Field.
