just-in-city-battle-juan-soto-turns-salty-against-yankees-after-record-breaking-765-million-deal-with-mets-says-new-york-has-been

The New York Yankees quickly shifted their focus after Juan Soto agreed to a historic $765 million contract with their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets. While the Yankees have made notable moves to strengthen their roster—acquiring frontline starter Max Fried and trading for closer Devin Williams—fans are still processing Soto’s departure and his new home with the Mets.

During his introductory press conference with the Mets, Soto made some remarks that caught the attention of Yankees fans. When asked about his former teammates, Soto revealed that he hadn’t “talked with any” of them since the Yankees’ World Series run came to an end. This comment left many fans wondering about the level of camaraderie within the team, especially after such a significant season.

A New Chapter in the RivalryAlthough the Yankees have already begun to pivot away from the Soto era, acquiring Fried and Williams as part of their offseason strategy, the rivalry between the two New York teams is unlikely to quiet down anytime soon. The defection of a star player like Soto to the Mets will surely keep fans of both teams engaged in the battle for city supremacy for years to come.
