Mets must balance excitement over Juan Soto's signing

Juan Soto has signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets, marking a significant investment in a player with high potential. This contrasts with past free agent signings that often disappointed the team. Mets broadcasters are advised to balance their enthusiasm for Soto to avoid overhyping his performance. Excessive praise could diminish the excitement of his achievements and create unrealistic expectations among fans. Baseball broadcasting faces challenges in 2025, with fewer networks covering games. The Mets will have limited exposure in key matchups, while the Yankees are also dealing with potential viewership declines due to injuries to star players.
