THIS JUST HAPPENED
Juan Soto Shows Off Supercar and Gets Flooded with Messages from Angry Mets Fans
A simple photo. A luxury car. And a storm of fan backlash.
Juan Soto, one of baseball’s most polarizing and talented stars, recently posted a photo on Instagram standing beside his brand-new supercar, beaming with pride. But instead of applause or congratulations, the comment section quickly filled with something completely unexpected — waves of Mets fans begging him to leave New York.
The moment, meant to be a personal celebration, instantly turned into a public controversy.
Luxury and Loyalty Collide
Soto’s high-end car, rumored to be a custom Ferrari worth over $400,000, became the center of attention for reasons he probably didn’t anticipate. Within hours, his post was flooded with comments like:
“Nice car, now leave the Mets.”
“Maybe drive yourself out of Citi Field.”
“Trade the car — and yourself — to another team.”
The harsh reaction from Mets supporters seems to stem from growing frustration — not with the car, but with Soto’s performance, demeanor, and recent attitude on the field.
Why Are Mets Fans Turning on Him?
While Juan Soto is statistically solid, Mets fans feel they’re not getting the full superstar package. Multiple viral clips over the past month show lazy running, lack of hustle, and apparent disengagement during key moments — especially compared to the energy and drive expected in New York sports.
One fan on Reddit put it bluntly:
“You don’t jog out hits and then flex your wealth like everything’s perfect. That’s not how this city works.”
To them, the car was a symbol of indifference, not success.
A Team in Turmoil
The Mets, despite their star-studded roster, have endured another rollercoaster season. Losing streaks, locker room drama, and inconsistent leadership have made fans impatient and bitter. Many believe Soto, with his huge contract and star reputation, hasn’t delivered on his promise — and the supercar photo felt like the final straw.
Insiders say that while management is not currently shopping Soto, internal frustration has reached new levels, with tensions between the fanbase and players growing more public by the day.
Soto Stays Silent
As of now, Soto hasn’t responded to the backlash. No follow-up statement, no deleted post, no comment — just silence.
Whether that’s a calculated move or genuine indifference, it’s hard to say. But in the world of New York sports, silence often speaks louder than words.
Where Does This Go From Here?
The image of Juan Soto and his shining new car may fade from social media, but the message from Mets fans is loud and clear: show up on the field or pack up your locker.
As trade rumors begin to swirl ahead of the next MLB deadline, don’t be surprised if Soto’s name re-enters the conversation — not because of his car, but because of the growing disconnect between him and a city that demands effort above all.
Until then, one question hangs in the air:
Can Juan Soto win back New York — or is it already too late?
