On Friday night, months of mixed emotions for New York Yankees fans toward Juan Soto came to a head as the New York Mets right fielder made his first trip to Yankee Stadium as a member of the crosstown rival.
Soto spent the 2024 season with the Yankees before landing a 15-year $765 million contract with the Mets in December. What was Soto welcomed to as his first time to Yankee Stadium as a Met? A shower of boos.
Every time Soto took the field on defense, Yankee fans also turned their backs on the right fielder.
