A Yankees insider claims Juan Soto is "very glum around the clubhouse" in Queens, suggesting his family forced him to sign with the Mets.

According to McCaffrey, Boston's contract offer to Soto was 15 years and $700 million. She added that the Red Sox's offer far exceeded the largest contract in franchise history, the 10-year, $313.5 million deal designated hitter Rafael Devers signed in 2023.

A day after saying he would address Juan Soto’s effort level with the star right fielder, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza declined to divulge the nature of that meeting or even whether it had taken place.

Soto, who spurned the Yankees for the Mets on a $765 million deal in the offseason, was the subject of a lot of reporting over the past few days, including NJ Advance Media’s Bob Klapisch, who said that Mets officials were “concerned about Soto’s lack of enthusiasm for his new team.”

But the attention on him got ratcheted up over the weekend when he returned to Yankee Stadium and heard all kinds of things yelled at him by Pinstripes fans. There were also questions about his hustle that popped up there and on Monday when he stared down a ball he thought was a home run and had to settle for a single.

That other Juan Soto thing — the one that has a lot to do with why he is the highest-paid player in history — where he cuts through pressure and rises to the occasion has been absent so far through a night and a day back at Yankee Stadium.
