The New York Mets are in the middle of a brutal 12-game losing streak. Their struggles have been the talk of the entire Major League Baseball world, as a contender for the World Series in the preseason has not been up to par at all.

Fortunately, the Mets are getting Juan Soto back from the injured list. He had been out for a while due to a calf issue and was one of the many reasons behind the Mets' losing streak.

With Soto's return, he spoke with reporters, including SNY TV, where he answered questions, one of which was about whether he talked to his teammates amid the losing streak. Soto revealed he didn't, and had a hilarious reasoning for such a decision.

"No, not at all. They've been on the road most of the time, so I haven't talked to them," Soto said.

The Mets, once 7-4, are not 7-16. Soto played in just eight games, last playing on April 3rd, which was a 10-3 win on the road against the San Francisco Giants.

The Mets won the next three games without Soto, including the first game at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

But, on April 8th, the Mets' losing streak began with a 2-7 loss to the D-Backs. They then dropped all three at home to the Athletics, making for a five-game losing streak. It was concerning at that point, but not so alarming.
