How can you beat a bully in a Juan Soto style? Hit him out of the park. Yes, that’s how Soto avenged a bully on Monday during the Mets game against the Cardinals. Soto’s $765 million contract was poised to make a lot of talks, and it did. Just as the spring season kicked in, critics were out in the daylight to ridicule the contract. But it’s not safe to ridicule a talent if the name is Juan Soto. Still, someone on the Monday game dared to shout, “Overpaid! Overrated!” aimed at Soto. Well, the Dominican certainly doesn’t think so.

Just after Soto gave a wild stare to the caller, it was the Mets’ turn to bat, a chance Soto would never miss. So, in the grass seat of the Florida venue, Soto hit a good shot that sailed through the air and landed almost with the caller. The guy ultimately got his due and showed Soto’s ability. The Mets prevailed 8-0 thanks to a shutout victory. Expectedly, this one home run was enough to send the fans go gaga over social media.

Nothing better for the Mets than Soto shutting down the bullies with his bat, leading the talks. For now, the social media is all flooded with praises and how blessed the Mets are to be getting him on the team.
