Jose Reyes Comes to the Rescue: Defending Juan Soto From the Critics

In a world where sports fans can be, well, a bit dramatic, former Mets legend Jose Reyes has stepped up to the plate to defend Juan Soto during his rookie year. The criticism aimed at Soto has been intense, but Reyes reminds everyone that it’s unrealistic to expect a home run every time he swings the bat. With 28 home runs already this season, Reyes believes Soto’s doing just fine, and he’s right—after all, even superheroes have their off days!

It’s not all sunshine and home runs, though. Reyes pointed out that the Mets need to fix their big issues with runners in scoring position if they want to compete for a Wild Card spot. Starting pitching has dipped since the All-Star break, and Reyes isn’t pulling any punches about it—he says that needs to change, and fast. Meanwhile, Soto is trying to hold his own amid the chaos, proving it’s no easy feat being the new kid on the block.

As October approaches, fans are hoping for a miracle turnaround for the Mets. Will they pull it together in time, or will they find themselves on the couch watching the playoffs like the rest of us? How about you—what’s your take on the pressure rookie athletes face? Let’s hear your thoughts!
