Juan Soto’s monster contract with the New York Mets has many across the Big Apple celebrating, but one superfan in Cleveland, Ohio named Donovan Mitchell might be the happiest.
Yes, that Donovan Mitchell of the Cleveland Cavaliers is a Mets superfan! Mitchell traces his Mets’ fandom back to his father, who worked with the franchise as a minor league coach and manager in 1999 and is currently with the Mets organization as the team’s director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
So it was no surprise that Mitchell posted on social media about Soto’s historic signing with the Mets moments after it was reported. What was a surprise, however, is that Mitchell and Soto were FaceTiming one another in celebration about the news!
