The star from the Juan Soto stars spent the 2024 season in the Bronx and was a key element in the New York Yankees race at the World Series from last year. In December, he signed a historic contract with the other team from the New York MLB – Les Mets.
The agreement of $ 765 million SOTO of SOTO represents the most lucrative contract in the history of professional sport. Friday, the dishes will open a series of three games with the Yankees.

Although Soto has recognized the possibility that some fans could orient him the hoots, it does not seem that the potential anxiety amortizes the excitement of the knock to return to the Yankee Stadium.

“I don’t mind,” Soto told athletics in reference to possibilities.

“You know the fans of the Yankees. They can surprise you with anything,” said the quadruple MLB All-Star in March.
The Mets launcher, Clay Holmes, who played for the Yankees of 2021-24, expressed his confidence in Soto’s ability to always play well, regardless of what he ultimately affirms by fans of the Bronx.

“His goal will be to set up good strikers,” said Holmes. “It is always able to enclose it in these great moments. It will be fun to watch it.”
Soto ended his only season with the Yankees with 41 circuits and an average of the stick of .288. The right defender has struck eight circuits in 43 games so far this season with the dishes.
The dishes were inactive on Thursday, but will enter Friday’s match against the Yankees in first place in the NL East.
