New York Mets Rely on Juan Soto for World Series Success

Veteran reporter Hector Gomez shared that New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto will play 10 games in the Dominican Winter League (LIDOM) before joining his first spring training with the team.

Gomez posted on social media that Soto confirmed he asked the Mets for permission to play, and the Mets approved his request.

Juan Soto said, “I asked the #Mets to give me permission to play 10 games with @TigersDelLacey in the Dominican Winter League. I don’t know the date yet when I will do it, but I hope it will be soon.”

Earlier this offseason, Soto signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets. Since he’s now their most valuable player, it’s surprising the Mets granted him permission, but it seems they trust his decision.

There is some risk, as infielder Ronny Mauricio tore his ACL last winter and closer Edwin Diaz hurt his knee before the 2023 season while playing in the World Baseball Classic.

Soto had a fantastic year with the New York Yankees, finishing third in the American League MVP voting after hitting 41 home runs and driving in 109 RBIs. He played a key role in the Yankees winning the American League pennant and reaching the World Series.

However, the Yankees lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. The Mets, who lost to the Dodgers in the NLCS, hope Soto will be the player to help them succeed in 2025.
