Todd Zeiles shares thoughts on Juan Soto's "generational" talent - Source: Imagn
The New York Mets made the biggest splash this offseason. Juan Soto, who was fresh off a career year and a World Series trip with the Yankees, was the most sought-after free agent this offseason. Steve Cohen's pockets turned out to be deep enough as they signed the outfielder for a blockbuster 15-year, $765 million, shattering many professional sports records.
Soto, 26, is in his prime and expected to do big things for the Mets, who had a deep postseason run before falling against the Dodgers in the NLCS.
Todd Zeile, who played 16 seasons in the majors, on Wedneday's episode of Amazin' Conversations with Jay Horwitz, discussed Soto's signing with the Mets and its impact on and off the field.
"People talk about generational talent, and, you know, you always find some other guys coming through the ranks that do amazing things," Zeile said (2:11 onwards). "But from the time he was 19 years old, you saw there was something different about Juan Soto. It feels like he's been around for 20 years. He's six-plus years in the league because he came in at 19. At that point, you're like, there's something different about him.
