Juan Soto says he hasn't been in regular contact with Mets teammates during losing streak

The New York Mets are hoping the return of superstar Juan Soto will help them snap a 12-game losing streak. His teammates may need to fill Soto in on the gruesome details of their historic drought.Speaking ahead of the Mets’ Wednesday night game against the Minnesota Twins, Soto told reporters in New York that he hadn’t been in regular contact with his teammates while he was on the injured list, dealing with a right calf strain.“They’ve been on the road most of the time, so I haven’t talked to them,” Soto said.

In baseball, it isn’t unusual for injured players to rehab away from the team while keeping a very different schedule from the rest of their team. He returns to a Mets club in a very different position than it was on April 3. The Mets won that day to move to 4-4 and then won their next three games to climb to 7-4. They haven’t won a game since. New York is dead last in the NL East and 8.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves. Their 12-game losing streak is the franchise’s worst since 1962. a.showcase-link-container { display: flex; gap: 20px; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; padding: 20px 0px; border-top: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(150, 150, 147, 0.4); text-decoration: none; color: #121212; cursor: pointer; .showcase-link { font-family: nyt-franklin; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 700; line-height: 13.8px; letter-spacing: 1.1px; text-transform: uppercase; } .showcase-link-image { border-radius: 8px; object-fit: cover; width: 200px; height: 150px; margin: 0px; @media (max-width: 600px) { width: 120px; height: 120px; } } .showcase-link-inner-content { display: flex; flex-direction: row; gap: 16px;...
