Juan Soto addressed the New York Mets' struggles two years after signing the richest contract in North American sports history, with the team set to miss the playoffs in each of his first two seasons. Speaking in Arlington, Texas, ahead of the Mets' 3-1 loss to the Texas Rangers, Soto expressed disappointment regarding the team's results.

Soto took personal responsibility for the franchise's shortcomings, stating that he must perform at a higher level to push the team forward. The outfielder noted that falling short of the postseason was completely unexpected when he initially agreed to his megadeal with the club.
