Juan Soto has performed a really Juan Soto factor via two Subway Collection video games, reaching base safely in half of his plate appearances. 

That different Juan Soto factor — the one which has so much to do with why he’s the highest-paid participant in historical past — the place he cuts via stress and rises to the event has been absent up to now via an evening and a day again at Yankee Stadium. 

If he was not booed each time he was introduced, batted and even caught a fly ball, you won’t even have observed him. However, after all, you might be noticing him. Each transfer. Each gesture. Each nod or non-nod towards the house dugout that was his residence dugout. This three-game set in The Bronx is the primary referendum on Soto since he shunned the Yankees’ $760 million bid to signal with the Mets for $765 million. 

It has left Yankee followers only a bit perturbed, and so they definitely should not utilizing this collection to supply thanks for the 2024 recollections.
