Part 3/5:
During the conversation, the topic of Soto's relationship with NBA star Donovan Mitchell came up. Mitchell has been a supportive figure, staying in touch with Soto and actively courting him as he entered free agency. This friendship has evidently played a role in Soto's decision to join the Mets, reflecting the camaraderie that can exist between athletes across different sports. The lighthearted banter about potential tampering added a humorous touch to their discussions.
Soto also discussed his friendship with fellow Mets player Francisco Lindor and rookie Francisco Alvarez. Their playful interactions, including Alvarez's jovial comebacks, highlight the camaraderie and fun atmosphere Soto expects to experience within the team.
