Soto\u2019s contributions in 2024 were worth 8.1 WAR, and it helps that the Mets were able to steal the 26-year-old right fielder from their sworn rival New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>Soto is expected to elevate the Mets the same way he did the Yankees last season, and it\u2019s not like the Mets need him to be anyone other than his usual self for them to take the next step into World Series contention. And shortstop Francisco Lindor also sees how Soto can liven up a raucous Citi Field faithful even further with the way he carries himself in every inning he plays on the field, and every at-bat he\u2019s hell-bent on sticking it to the opposing pitcher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s an electric player. That\u2019s going to add to the vibes as well. Also his professionalism.
