His answer was simple.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_5zo5hx7h4\">&#8220;The Mets is a great organization,&#8221; Soto said. &#8220;What they have done in the past couple years showing all of the ability to keep winning, to keep growing a team, to try to grow a dynasty is one of the most important things, What you were seeing from the other side was unbelievable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Juan Soto is asked why he chose to join the Mets:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Mets is a great organization.
