Before the Mets, Soto also had stops with the Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres and New York Yankees over nine total seasons in the MLB.

He won the 2019 World Series title with the Nationals.

Social Media Reacts To Lineup

Here’s what people were saying about the team’s lineup:

@K1NGS1MMONS: “They aren’t trying to win guys, this season is over.”

@HosenMark: “Don’t no why Soto cant dh over Polanco. Looks like Mets not trying hard enough.”

@EDarezzi: “Where’s Robert??? One game back then off again. I get not playing him in the outfield but have him DH. WTH no wonder this team can’t get in gear. David Stearns is responsible for this disastrous situation 💯”

@KnickWitDaKnack: “Baty in the outfield, where he is terrible and it affects him at the plate? No Soto? No Luis Robert Jr who needs to be showcased before the trade deadline while playing Baty in RF who is absolutely lost out there? Make any of this make sense!!”
