There are certain things Yankees fans just don’t want to see—like Aaron Boone using a bullpen phone or Juan Soto wearing blue and orange, but here we are. With the Mets and Yankees sharing a spring training stage, Boone wasted no time letting Soto know exactly how he felt about the color swap. His verdict? Brutal.

We all know about the huge deal made by the New York Mets to get Juan Soto. The price he was brought for stunned the whole world as he set a record for the highest-paid player in MLB history. But the thing that most of the people wanted to see was how the New York Yankees and their fans would react to this move. Especially when the move is to your cross-town rivals.

It looks like losing Juan Soto still stings Aaron Boone. With the Mets scheduled to go up against the Yankees in the spring, the former coach and player came face to face. During this time, Boone said, “I told him he looked terrible in that uniform.” Now, this might be a friendly banter between both of them, but Soto is one of the most fierce players in the league right now.

The Yankees already have a million problems with their star pitchers and batters sidelined for a long time. They would not want to add Juan Soto to that list. Just ask all the pitchers who tried to intimidate him and got their pitches sent to another planet. Soto has already taken flight in the spring smashing home runs, and he won’t take any exception to the Yankees when they play each other.

If the Yankees think Soto just looks bad in a Mets uniform, wait until they see how bad he makes them look on the scoreboard. With their roster in shambles, the last thing they need is Soto turning their misery into must-watch TV. Like it or not, he’s not just thriving—he’s making the Yankees regret every second of it.

Yankees Fans Still Fuming Over Juan Soto’s Mets Move

Some wounds don’t heal easily—especially when $765 million is poured into them. Juan Soto might have left the Bronx, but Yankees fans haven’t left their bitterness behind. Despite Soto praising the Yankees as a top-tier organization, his words fell on deaf ears. In New York, switching boroughs is worse than switching teams.

A few months have passed since the Mets signed Soto and still, the Yankees fans are sulking over it. And after Soto’s comments during an interview, the fans went ballistic. Soto said, “The Yankees were number one from day one. I know the Yankees are going to be good for the next five or six years. We don’t know what’s going to happen after that.”

The fans held nothing back and went after him. They said, “The Yankees have a better minor league system than the Mets, so what is this clown talking about? Who have the Mets produced that have become stars?” Is the fan right? Maybe, but will that stop Juan Soto from smacking pitchers and making things worse for the Yankees? Absolutely not. He will go at every pitcher in the league and will not care even if Cy Young himself was pitching.

The Yankees may have the better farm system, but Juan Soto has the better contract—and the last laugh. Fans can rage all they want, but Soto isn’t here for debates; he’s here to crush baseballs. If the Yankees thought losing him hurt, wait until they see him rounding the bases at Citi Field all season long.
