Overview

• On August 15, WFAN host Brandon Tierney publicly suggested that Mets outfielder Juan Soto might be older than his listed 26 years without offering evidence.
• He conceded he could not prove the age discrepancy but reiterated that he believed there was a “good chance” Soto was not 26.
• Co-host Sal Licata and callers challenged the speculation by referencing Soto’s proven 2018 debut at age 19 and baseball’s formal Age and Identity Investigation department.
• Social media reactions ranged from digging up 2017 Hagerstown Suns photos to recalling a parody post falsely claiming Soto was 33.
• Official biographical records continue to list Soto’s birthdate as October 25, 1998, and no MLB investigation has been announced.
