Juan Soto's continued struggles while wearing a Mets uniform bring back memories of Francisco Lindor's unsavory start in Queens.

Soto’s not-quite-right start to his first season with the New York Mets has been placed under the microscope with the zoom amplified. Following an inhospitable weekend in the Bronx, Soto’s Monday in Boston included an erroneous rumor spread on talk radio and another instance in which he failed to hustle out of the box — with Soto and manager Carlos Mendoza taking different approaches to addressing that lack of effort after the game.

New York is famously noisy, but it’s hitting a fever pitch right now with a lot of people speaking for Juan Soto. It’s loud in Boston this week, and it’s loud around MLB with the Mets’ superstar right fielder being talked about nearly non-stop.
