The baseball community is constantly watching

Juan Soto

, particularly in this initial campaign since joining the

New York Mets

Following the signing of a landmark agreement, recent speculation suggested that the Dominican player was traveling via private jet and distancing himself from the team. However, this opulence was swiftly disputed by a trustworthy source close to the organization.

The entire commotion began following remarks made during a WFAN radio program, where it was inaccurately reported that ESPN analyst Karl Ravech had commented that

Soto

was flying in a private jet during the last game of the Subway Series against the

New York Yankees

.

To clear up any doubts, renowned ESPN insider Jeff Passan stepped in with a strong clarification. “To clear up what others have asserted:

Juan Soto

does not travel alone from him

New York Mets

teammates on a private jet,” Passan reported this Monday afternoon. “He flies on the team plane. There is no private-jet provision in his contract for him or his family.”

The initial remarks on WFAN, attributed to Esiason and Greg Giannotti, appeared to overstate what Ravech had genuinely mentioned. Esiason went as far as saying that

Soto

And his family had access to the private jet for trips to Boston, which might lead to rifts within the squad due to perceived favoritism.

The problem is that Ravech never made such a claim.

Soto

flew using their own private jet. The ESPN commentator also pointed out that the Dominican player’s contract features family-friendly perks, including chartered flights so his relatives can watch him play from wherever he is competing.

In fact, previous reports by Jon Heyman had already detailed in December that

Juan Soto’s

15-year, $765 million contract with the

Mets

included “luxury suite for all home games, four premium seats for all home games, security for the player and family at home and away, and family services.” However, there is no evidence that these “family services” include private jet benefits.

Thus, the controversy over

Juan Soto’s

supposed private jet travels is clarified. The Dominican flies with his teammates, as is the norm. What is true is that his monumental contract ensures comforts and services for his family, reaffirming the

Mets’

commitment to their star’s well-being.
