New York Mets star Juan Soto says his injury-plagued year “sucks,” while indicating he wants to get back and return to play. Both outlets reporting on the comments frame Soto’s remarks as an acknowledgement of how disrupted the season has been for him.
The reports note that, before the current season, Soto has established a consistency streak: he has played at least 150 games in every full major league season he had completed up to that point. That context underscores the contrast between his typical availability and the present year, which has included more time lost to injury.
Yahoo Sports and the New York Post both include the idea of player commitment to continuing—citing that Soto and Mets reliever Devin Williams also want to return—though the focus remains on Soto’s assessment of the year and his motivation to move forward.
