Juan Soto’s first season with the New York Mets has been full of ups and downs—and now, controversy. After being left off the 2025 All-Star Game roster, Soto shared his disappointment in a way that didn’t sit well with everyone.

Michael Kay has a bone to pick with the Mets’ $765 million star. YES Network’s play-by-play broadcaster sounded off on Juan Soto following comments made by the 26-year-old outfielder about not being named an All-Star this year, particularly the “money on the table” with the snub.

Soto got off to a rough start in his Mets career, logging a .752 OPS in April and batting just .219 in May. But he was scorching hot in June, hitting .322/.474/.722 with 11 homers and 20 RBIs in 27 games, which was enough to earn him the NL Player of the Month honors.
