New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty was due for a car upgrade. He just didn't think it would come on his teammate Juan Soto's dime.
But that's exactly what happened on Thursday at the Mets' spring training site in Port St. Lucie, Fla., as Soto surprised Baty with a black Chevrolet Tahoe, a $92,000 vehicle, in exchange for the No. 22 jersey—a number meaningful to Soto, but also one worn by Baty for the past three seasons.
