Juan Soto arrived at Port St. Lucie today for the first time as a New York Met, and the allure and buzz around him has been seismic.

Many Mets fans have been imagining the moment since he hit pen to paper on his contract in December, along with the possible lineup configurations and where Soto would be deployed.

Last season, Soto thrived (like he always does) in front of Aaron Judge with an MVP-caliber season in the two-hole. However, when asked about his lineup spot with the Mets going forward, the 26-year-old doesn't have an answer to the question just yet.

"[Carlos Mendoza and I] have talked, but we haven't come up with something yet," Soto said during Sunday's press conference. "We gotta keep talking about it, but I think we are on the same page. Wherever he needs me, I'll be there."
