Juan Soto surprises teammate with car after number swap

New York Mets superstar Juan Soto made a huge gesture to thank teammate Brett Baty for giving up his jersey number.

Soto, who debuted in 2018 with the Washington Nationals, has worn number 22 for every season of his career. The number was available with both the San Diego Padres and New York Yankees, but it was not with the Mets.

It belonged to infielder Brett Baty.

Baty, who debuted in 2022, was willing to give the number to Soto this offseason. He agreed to relinquish it early enough that Soto was able to wear a number 22 jersey at his introductory press conference with the organization back in December.
