Carlos Mendoza expresses surprise over Juan Soto's fast adaptation of leadership roles

It hasn't been 6 months since the New York Mets signed Juan Soto, and he has already started to take up the leadership responsibilities very well. The Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza recently talked about Soto's signing and expressed surprise over how the left fielder fitted in the team faster than expected.
Even though it's just been three months since Juan Soto was signed by the New York Mets, it feels that the team has always been his team. On Sunday, MLB.com released an interview with the Mets' manager, Carlos Mendoza, who opened up about being surprised with how fast Soto fitted in with everyone on the team. Talking about the same, he said:
"I didn't think [the adjustment] was going to be this quick, to be honest with you. I thought it was going to take a little bit longer, but he fit right in. As soon as the position players reported, within a couple of days you could see him laughing, making jokes, especially with some of the Latin players. That was really good to see."
Moving forward in his statement, Carlos Mendoza praised Juan Soto for his friendly nature and how open he has been about sharing his knowledge with young prayers. Praising Soto as a "very humble" and "very open" individual, Mendoza said:

"When you watch him in the weight room and you watch him in the cages, guys are asking him questions; how open he is to share his knowledge. Some of the things that he does in the batter's box or when he's preparing, just watching him go about it, he’s very humble and very open.”
Considering the fact that Juan Soto has adapted to leadership roles, according to a New York Yankees insider, Francisco Lindor would have a "lot better season." This will most likely be contributed by Soto, who will be taking care of the roles that Lindor would previously manage.
Juan Soto's $765 Million deal also influenced Vladimir Guerrero Jr's decision to reject a contract extension with the Toronto Blue Jays. The Blue Jays' first baseman recently claimed that the team offered him less money than Soto received from the Mets.
