Juan Soto, the New York Mets slugger, faced criticism from the media after failing to hustle on two key plays during games against the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, contributing to a loss in each instance. Despite believing he had hit a home run off the Green Monster, Soto ended up with a single due to his slow start out of the box, leading to questions about his effort. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza acknowledged the need to discuss Soto’s hustle, while Soto insisted he has been working hard, despite his performance being below his usual standards.
