Soto and Lindor's uncomfortable relationship, the 1.6319 trillion bomb New York that may explode at any time is unsettling

However, as the Mets collapsed in the second half of this season and failed to advance to the postseason, rumors of conflict between the two players arose. This is because of what Lindor said in an interview with a media outlet at the end of the season.
Lindor told FOX Sports at the end of the season, `Soto is like a different person. Whether it's yourself, your family, or your acquaintances' stories, you can see it in itself. I just go back and forth to the ballpark. We share many moments with each other as well." But he is 'I'm an introvert. I said many times, 'When I come to the ballpark, I want to win and I just do my job. It shows what kind of person he is. He only goes back and forth to the ballpark, which is 'perfectly'good'.
It's an ironic expression. Simply put, it means that Lindor, who has an active personality, does not like Soto's individualistic tendencies.
In response, Sports Illustrated interpreted 'If Mets fans hear Lindor's words that it is sometimes really good when Soto is not on the team, they will feel that the clubhouse atmosphere is not very good.'

In an interview with the New York Post podcast run by Joel Sherman and John Hayman on September 11, he said "Soto is a consistent player every day. I think he's a very quiet, introvert person. He has excellent concentration, but he just lives, breathes, and plays baseball. "He is a player who lives that likes baseball. Focusing on baseball is so great that it is the same every day. As you can see from the first half of this year, he was easily named an All-Star. People say that Soto's season has been sluggish, and you can see how great a player he is." It is nothing short of praise.
Is the relationship between Soto and Lindor serious enough to become a big problem in the Mets clubhouse.

In response, Essential Leesports said on the 3rd that Lindor and Soto will share a meal in the Mets for a long time, and the best scenario is that what happens between the two does not reach the level of the 2001 clash between Jeter and Rodriguez.
Lindor and Jeff McNeil had an argument during an away match in Philadelphia in June, and it is not unreasonable to expect that Soto and Lindor's chilly relationship could explode.
It is said that Lindor and McNeil did not even make eye contact with each other, and what is more important in the long run is that Soto's perception of being a cold colleague seems to have surfaced. After being a loner in the Padres and getting along well with Aaron Judge in the Yankees, he is now in stark contrast to Lindor.
In this regard, the New York Post also reported on the 2nd that Juan Soto's strange relationship with Francisco Lindor should not be a concern for the Mets' published an article with the title. In the end, in order to get along well with each other for a long time, we have to solve it through dialogue.

The two played for the Yankees for 10 years from 2004 to 2013. However, it is said that the two players' 'friendship' began to crack in 2001. This is because Road A made remarks that seemed to undermine Jeter in an interview with a magazine earlier that year.
Lord A said "Jitter is blessed because there are many good hitters back and forth. Hitting in batting order 2 is completely different from batting order 3 and 4. Bernie (Williams) and (Paul) O'Neill are tricky when they play the Yankees, and no one says 'Avoid Derek'. He is not a concern of the people."

He is not the only one. Lord A previously told ESPN Radio in January of that year that `Jitter cannot exceed the terms of my contract. Jeter is neither a power heater nor a defense worse than me." That was the starting point of the split between the two. The New York Times said it is rare to publicly underestimate the value of another player, even if A-Road's comments are valid.
At the end of 2000, A-road signed a 10-year, $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers, and Jeter signed a 10-year, $189 million extension with the Yankees.
Eventually, Jeter ended the friendship, saying "He's not a true friend". Of course, there was no superficial disagreement between the two after A-road joined the Yankees. And after retirement, they appear on TV together, praise each other, and continue their close relationship again.
There is no telling how Lindor and Soto's relationship will be different, but it is not too much to say that the Mets have a 'bomb'.
