It was no coincidence that Juan Soto declined an ESPN segment during Game 3 of the Subway Series. After the Mets lost the series, the Dominican slugger also chose not to speak with reporters. There was a reason behind all of it.

To set the record straight, no, Juan Soto does not fly separately from his teammates on a private jet. Soto traveled with the Mets on their charter to Boston on Sunday night, just as he has for every road trip this season.

Juan Soto's return to Yankee Stadium was tougher than anticipated, and now New York Mets executives are questioning how much he wants to play for them.
