The Mets have now lost three straight games for the first time this season after falling to the Red Sox 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Owner Steve Cohen got on X as a result.
Cohen wrote on Tuesday night, “Welcome to the highs and lows of a baseball season.” “This will also pass. LGM.
Despite having a strong start, the Mets have struggled in recent days. For the first time since April 9, they lost their position as the National League East’s top team Monday night.
The losses coincide with a lot of chatter that Juan Soto, who signed a $765 million contract with the Mets this winter, isn’t giving it his all on the bases or thrilled to be a Met.
Soto drove a ball off the Green Monster in the sixth inning of Monday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox, demonstrating his slowness once more after failing to move quickly out of the batter’s box to first base against the Yankees the day before. Before jogging to first for a base hit, Soto stood and observed the ball, which he obviously believed to be a home run. In the following at-bat, Soto immediately swiped second base.
Following the defeat, Soto was questioned about if he was “slow getting out of the box.”
“No,” he answered, “I believe I have been working really hard.” “You could tell if you saw it today.”
