Mets roasted by ‘SNL’ cast in hilarious Juan Soto free agency skit

The MLB offseason has been dominated by the free agency saga of Juan Soto, a superstar outfielder who has attracted attention from both New York teams. The buzz around Soto’s impending decision even caught the eye of the “Saturday Night Live” crew, who decided to have some fun with it.

In a skit featuring Dana Carvey reprising his iconic role as “Church Lady,” Soto, played by Marcello Hernandez, found himself in a humorous conversation with the religious character. Sporting a question mark on his shirt and a Celsius hat, a nod to the cryptic hints Soto dropped about his decision, the fake Soto expressed his hope that the New York Yankees would make him the best offer.

However, Church Lady’s next comment took a dig at the New York Mets, prompting the fake Soto to jokingly consider signing with the Mets. With reports swirling about offers in the $700-730 million range for Soto, Church Lady warned about the dangers of money, leading to a comical response from the fake Soto about becoming the most evil baseball player in the world.

While both the Yankees and Mets are actively pursuing Soto, other teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays are also in the mix. The Dodgers, fresh off their World Series win and the acquisition of Blake Snell, are reportedly interested in adding Soto to their roster.

As the negotiations continue to unfold, baseball fans eagerly await Soto’s decision, which could reshape the landscape of MLB contracts. With the stakes high and multiple teams vying for his services, Soto’s free agency has become a captivating storyline in the world of sports.
