Juan Soto to Left Field Sparks Mets Debate
Juan Soto to Left Field Sparks Mets Debate  
Podcast: Evan & Tiki
Published On: Wed Feb 11 2026
Description: Three major stories broke after the show ended, but the conversation quickly zeroes in on the most polarizing one. Evan and Tiki debate Juan Soto’s move from right field to left field, why it actually makes sense at Citi Field, and why the timing and explanation from the Mets still feels strange. The discussion digs into Soto’s defensive history, his split time between left and right field throughout his career, and whether the World Baseball Classic played a bigger role than the team wants to admit. Plus, questions about roster construction, fan reaction, and why this move was obvious to some long before it became official, even if it still feels awkward the way it rolled out.
