Yankees' Michael Kay Sparks Controversy With 'Glee' Over Mets' Playoff Miss

Michael Kay, Yankees radio host, has sparked controversy by expressing 'glee' over the New York Mets' playoff miss. Kay cited a specific group of Mets fans' behavior towards him and the Yankees after the team failed to retain Juan Soto.

Juan Soto's first season with the Mets was impressive, with 43 home runs, 105 RBIs, and 38 stolen bases. Despite Soto's performance, the Mets ended the regular season with a 5-5 record in the last 10 games and a disappointing September, missing the NBA playoffs.

Critics have previously accused Kay's show of negativity and bias, particularly about the Yankees. These criticisms surfaced on social media and sports talk radio during contentious Yankees' seasons. Kay clarified that his recent remarks were not directed at the entire Mets fan base but a specific group that targeted him and the Yankees after losing Soto.

The Yankees will now face the Boston Red Sox in the wild-card playoff series, while the Mets' front office plans for the NBA playoffs 2025. Meanwhile, Kay's comments have reignited discussions about his show's approach and his views on the Yankees and Mets.
