**Mets to Discuss Hustle with Juan Soto Following Line Drive Single off Green Monster**
In a shocking turn of events, the New York Mets have announced they will be holding an emergency meeting to discuss the concept of “hustle” with Washington Nationals superstar Juan Soto after he casually strolled to first base following a line drive single off the Green Monster. The incident occurred during a recent game at Fenway Park, where Soto’s leisurely jog sparked a heated debate among Mets players, who are known for their own unique interpretation of “hustle” — which often involves a lot of sitting and contemplating life choices.
Mets manager Buck Showalter expressed his concern, stating, “We just want to make sure Soto understands that when you hit a ball, you should run like you’re being chased by a rabid raccoon. I mean, have you seen our base running? We could use a little of that hustle magic.”
In a bizarre twist, Mets outfielder Starling Marte chimed in, “I once saw a tortoise run faster than our last base hit. If Soto wants to take it easy, he should try playing for the Mets. We have a whole section of the dugout dedicated to napping.”
Soto, unfazed by the criticism, responded with a smirk, “I thought I was just giving the fans a chance to appreciate my majestic hair flowing in the wind. Besides, I’m saving my energy for when I hit a home run. You know, the important stuff.”
The meeting is set to take place in the Mets’ clubhouse, where they will also discuss the importance of running to first base instead of taking a leisurely stroll, as well as the fine art of not tripping over your own feet while doing so.
As the Mets prepare for this crucial discussion, fans are left wondering if Soto will take their advice or simply continue to redefine what it means to hustle — one slow jog at a time.
