Juan Soto had one of the most brilliant walk years anyone’s ever had. He turned 26 one week ago.
Nah. Forget that. The door is open wide. The windows are open wider. The minute that Walker Buehler got Alex Verdugo to wave at that slider in the dirt about 20 minutes before midnight Wednesday, one kind of baseball season ended and another began. The calendar has flipped. Most years it says “November” at the top of the page.The Mets beat the Yankees four times out of four for the season; that was a nice win for the Mets.
“I feel every team has the same opportunity,” Soto said. “I don’t want to say anybody has an advantage.”Which isn’t exactly Joe DiMaggio solemnly declaring, “I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee.” , the only other time the Mets and Yankees ever went full-bore over the same player it was Dave Winfield in 1980, and while the Mets were aggressive, they were still four years away from being even remotely competitive. This might’ve been a worthwhile comp on June 3, a day when the Mets fell 11 games under .500 on the same night the Yankees went to 23 games over .500. That feels like less of an argument now.
