Soto Returns in Style | New York Mets News

About this episode

Juan Soto made a surprise cameo as a pinch hitter for the Mets, striking out in the ninth but staying to play left field as they pulled off a gritty 3-2 win over the Rays. Before the game, he dropped major news: his first signature cleat with Under Armour, the UA Yard Icon “La Fiera,” debuted on Instagram — and he’ll be in Brooklyn this Thursday for a meet-and-greet where fans can snag exclusive merch and posters. Meanwhile, the Mets trimmed payroll by claiming Luis Robert Jr. off waivers (to the Orioles), brought up Nick Morabito to fill the void, added pitcher Justin Hagenman, and welcomed back Mark Vientos — who crushed a home run in his first game back after breaking his hand.

As September 1st, so, Juan Soto, the big hitter for the Mitz, got a planned rest day Monday night, but he still ended up in the game as a pinch hitter. In the ninth, he struck out, which ended their last chance to score, but he stayed into play left field. The Mitz still managed to pull out a two to three win against the Tampa Bay Rays, but the real news dropped before the game even started. Soto, who just got back from being sidelined for 31 games with a calf strain, revealed his first signature cleat with Under Armor. He showed them off on Instagram and the shoe is called the U.A. Yard icon La Fietta. He's been rocking Under Armor kicks since 2018, so this partnership makes sense. To celebrate the launch, Soto's going to be in Brooklyn this Thursday, September 3rd, as City Line Park. The first 75 people in line for a meet and greet get a photo, and anyone buying merchandise gets a special poster. Meanwhile, the Mitz roster saw some other changes. Outfielder, Luis Robert Jr. was claimed off-wavors by the Baltimore Orioles,

which saves the Mitz about $5 million. They replaced him by calling up Outfielder Nick Morabito from Triple A Syracuse. Also, Pitcher Justin Haggerman is joining the active roster, and Mart Viento's is back from the injury list after breaking his handback on July 9th. He even hit a home run in his first game back, so that's a positive sign for the team. That's your New York Mitz News Today update. AI powered and always on.
