Following ongoing rumors surrounding Juan Soto’s free agency, Mitchell has been actively engaging with the situation on social media, showcasing his hopes that Soto might join the Mets. Recently, he shared his thoughts about the speculation surrounding Soto on X, stating, “This Soto stuff is getting outta hand… no way that’s real.”
Soto’s free agency has drawn considerable attention, especially as he has been linked to other teams, such as the Boston Red Sox, before the Mets emerged as potential contenders. Fans, including Mitchell, are eagerly awaiting Soto’s decision on where he will continue his impressive career.
On the basketball front, Donovan Mitchell and his teammate Darius Garland successfully led the Cavaliers to a thrilling 115-111 victory against the Boston Celtics, managing to match the Celtics’ impressive three-point shooting. Mitchell, who had recently scored 35 points in a game, raised a thought-provoking question during his post-game press conference regarding the team’s reliance on three-point shooting.

As the season progresses, both the Cavaliers and their fans remain optimistic, with aspirations for continued success and a deep playoff run.
