It was a forgetful season for the New York Yankees in 2023. After a positive response in the first half, the former champions failed. They finished the season without any playoff spot, and the dream of holding their 28th World Series title extended to another year. It resulted in a deep analysis and required a change, with the Yanks responding in the off-season with multiple signings. However, many still doubt they have added enough strength to the mound. But it seems Gleyber Torres and Juan Soto do not think so.
Notably, the Yanks failed both on the offensive and defensive fronts. Thus, for a better 2024 season, they required additions, which came in the form of Soto in the offense and Marcus Stroman in the defense. But given that they had other players in mind, the off-season shopping seemed incomplete. However, Torres and Soto’s chemistry doesn’t agree with this. It makes one believe that “This year’s Yankees are different.” But do fans agree with this claim?

According to a post shared by Talkin Yanks, Soto made a surprise visit during Torres’s Twitch stream. Given that Soto has only joined the Bronx recently, it was unexpected. However, it showed how the outfielder has already become a part of the Pinstripes and would give all to relive the World Series dream. It synced with the fan emotions, who had a lot to share in the open.
Fans Feel the New York Yankees Has Finally Changed for the Better
It has been a disappointing last decade for Yankees fans. They have yet to see their team win the championship. It has resulted in great pain for them, and 2023, there was no change. But it seems they have finally got a squad that can change it all, as visible from their reaction to Juan Soto calling Gleyber Torres. Here are a few of them.
One reflected on their past performance from Torres and said, “Gleyber hitting 30 again like it’s 2019.”
One fan said that though he did not understand their language, felt good, “Immediately went to his stream. Don’t understand a word he’s saying but I’m happy.”
