Numerous reports circulated that the two did not get along last year, their first as teammates, and it was an issue that lingered into this season. Perhaps Soto's deal, which includes boosted security, luxury suites and the potential to make another $50 million, caused a power trip between the two stars.
In any case, the story had begun to die down until this week, when Cohen all but confirmed the reports to be true but said they were getting along better.
"Frankly, I think that’s a story that was last year’s story," Cohen told the New York Post. "I am told and believe strongly that these guys are getting along much better. And, so, I just don’t see that as an issue anymore."
That prompted both Soto and Lindor to be asked about their relationship Friday night, and Soto had an interesting comparison.
"When you meet a girl, you don’t start kissing her right away," he told The Athletic.
Soto, however, did say there were "no issues" between the two "at all" despite reports continuing to say otherwise.
"The more time we spend together, it’s only natural that our relationship continues to grow," Lindor told the outlet. "We’ve been teammates for two years now. Time has been on our side. I have nothing but respect for him. He’s my brother. He’s somebody I respected from a distance and respect here, inside."
There have been reports that Lindor and Soto had their lockers moved to opposite sides of the clubhouse this season, and fans were taken aback when the two didn't exactly share the friendliest of pleasantries on opening day.
The Athletic reported that the two stars recently had "hard conversations," but Lindor shooed away that notion.
"It was just, we talked. We talk every single day, whether it’s hitting or different topics. But we definitely talk because, at the end of the day, we are teammates and our job is to win games," he said.
Lindor and Soto have played just 15 games together this season due to injuries, but they are slated to be teammates through 2032.
