“He'll be fine. It's a long season”- Fans come out in Juan Soto's support as haters bash him all over social media

Key Highlights

• Juan Soto had a 0-for-3 in the last Mets vs Cardinals match
• Soto’s poor performance has caused haters to troll him all over social media
• Fans compare Soto’s current performance with Aaron Judge’s 2024 performance with hopes that Soto will gain momentum eventually
  

Juan Soto is again in the limelight, and not for good reasons. The by-far highest contract holder of the New York Mets has been performing poorly throughout the season, and Mets’ fans have been brutal. Soto is being bashed left and right all over social media, with some wondering what’s happening with the Mets’ star player. However, there are still some Soto fans who came forward to defend him.
Why are baseball fans hating on Juan Soto?When the New York Mets signed Juan Soto, they expected him to be the superstar player and bring in good numbers. Fans expected the same, but, the MLB 2025 season started and Soto is seen struggling.

Well, when you sign a player for $765 Million, and he doesn’t perform as per expectations, fans will start to troll him brutally. Besides, his 0-for-3 performance against the Cardinals on April 17, has again opened the can of worms.

NFL analyst, and former MLB author, John Frascella tweeted,

“I have never seen a superstar become a non-MLB player so quickly. Something is really, terribly wrong. He needs time off. For real.”

Juan Soto went 0-for-3 AGAIN tonight.

He is now hitting just .221.

I’m being dead serious:

I think the Mets should place him on IL for mental and sports psychology reasons. He needs time off to meet with professionals.
