Juan Soto, Steve Cohen comments on Mets situation have Yankees fans feeling validated

Is life awful for New York Yankees fans right now? Absolutely. But it could always be worse, as we know very well. In fact, it's much worse just a few miles away, where the New York Mets are 38-54 and ready for a fire sale at the trade deadline.

It wasn't long ago Mets fans were dunking all over the Yankees because of Soto's decision to leave the Bronx. They got their 15 minutes of fame, and then the Mets orchestrated one of the worst collapses in MLB history last season before following it up with a Colorado Rockies-esque performance in 2026. Who's laughing now?

The Mets might get the better of the Yankees during the Subway Series because of the Yankees' refusal to take bigger matchups seriously, but even when the headlines are bad for the Yankees, they're that much worse for the Mets.

Look no further than Steve Cohen being bullied by Mets fans to speak to the media and his commentary on Soto's relationship with Francisco Lindor. Turns out those "rumors" were true! Cohen admitted it was a story last year and that the dynamic has improved. The fact this is still being addressed, though, is absolutely insane. The fact Cohen was dead silent as the Mets underwent a ton of turmoil and fired manager Carlos Mendoza was nothing short of embarrassing.

And all this did was validate Yankees fans. Soto signing with the Mets, under no circumstances, was ever the right move, especially with Aaron Judge residing in New York. The Mets are a circus until further notice, and for those who believe they will win a World Series before the Yankees do, you should probably think again after the major steps back that were just taken.

This didn't end with Cohen, either. You've seen all the David Stearns pressers. Those are old news, though. Soto spoke up about his situation with Lindor and, again, confirmed the relationship didn't get off to a seamless start.

His quote was even crazier after speaking to MLB insider Will Sammon. Who says this?! How did we get here?

You know what's funny? It seems like Soto and Aaron Judge were "kissing" in this metaphor when Soto joined the Bombers in 2024. The team got off to a fast start, the dynamic in the clubhouse was great, and the Yankees made it to the World Series behind a marquee Soto moment that featured him celebrating like he's never celebrated before.

Hmm ... wonder why Lindor hasn't been named the captain of the Mets? It's probably because he isn't captain material. It's probably because he wasn't exactly the most welcoming presence when Soto signed for a record $765 million. Sure seems like this is a pattern for Lindor, who has accomplished nothing since joining the Mets.

Don't get us wrong. Yankees fans miss Soto. But they're firmly over it. What's done is done. People were upset for a minute, gave him the cold shoulder when he returned to the Stadium, and that was that. But we'd be remiss not to mention ongoing drama that involves him when he still resides in the same city. And it's important to remind everybody that the Yankees are the top dog until further notice, no matter what a delusional Mets fan decides to tell you hiding behind an avatar on social media.
