Mike Piazza, beloved Met now, knows what it is like to be in the New York storm. To be the new star imported to the Mets and have every eye, every dream fixed upon you. To have every failed at-bat a referendum, every slumped shoulder read for meaning. When your soundtrack at home — not on the road — is “boo.”

With Juan Soto and the New York Mets playing at Fenway Park on Tuesday for the second game in a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox, the slugger's free agency was once again in the headlines.

According to McCaffrey, Boston's contract offer to Soto was 15 years and $700 million. She added that the Red Sox's offer far exceeded the largest contract in franchise history, the 10-year, $313.5 million deal designated hitter Rafael Devers signed in 2023.

Mets' errors and a miserable eighth inning caused them to lose the rubber game of the Subway Series, 8-2, on Sunday at Yankee Stadium.

Rivalries are often more for the fans than for the players on the field themselves, and the Subway Series hasn’t always lived up to the hype.
