Juan Soto‘s impact on the Mets is extending beyond just his expected results on the diamond. According to eBay, searches for “Juan Soto” on the site increased by 380% on December 9, the day after his deal was announced with the Mets, compared to the week of December 1-7. These items include graded Soto cards with him wearing a Mets uniform. At Metsmerized, we will soon be giving away a Juan Soto Topps card, so keep your eyes peeled on our Twitter account.

Soto’s signing also has done wonders for the team’s ticket sales, with season-ticket sales and renewal numbers soaring to new heights, Mets senior vice president of ticketing Jake Bye told Newsday recently. On the Mets’ team store website, Soto’s jerseys, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and autographed bats and baseballs are all in high demand – some of which are running low on stock.
Before he even sets foot on the diamond for the Mets, signing Soto is already proving to be a boon for the franchise. The baseball world knows what he can do with a bat in his hands, and Mets fans can’t wait to see what will come next.
