There’s one love story that all the fans in the Bronx want to work out. The Juan Soto – New York Yankees love saga. While there is a lot of uncertainty around the subject of a contract extension, there might be some signs available to pick up on. It was not too long ago when the star slugger said, “I was really comfortable up there(Washington).” However, his recent pro-NYY hints are a far cry from his past praise of Washington. Has the allure of the Yankees finally gotten to him?
Well, it appears that the 25-year-old has gotten along well with his new teammates and fans love it. But it is the fans who would be heartbroken if Soto doesn’t stick around in the Bronx beyond the 2024 season. For those anxious about this uncertain reality, there might be some good news.

If you look closely at Soto’s screen, on the top left, it says “favorite team”. Does this mean that he’s never leaving New York? To answer this question, we must segue into another anecdote when he mentioned what he loved about New York.
Yet another instance where the Dominican was struck by the city and its vibes was early in December at the All Star Game. His words were, “The crowd is incredible, all of the things they yell at you. When you go there, how they support you and they boo you at the same time, it’s crazy.” Again, could this mean his sentiments toward the Big Apple are strong enough to consider an extension?
