Soto Joins Mets, Leaves Yankees Legacy Behind

Juan Soto, a former New York Yankees star, has signed a record 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, leaving behind a significant impact on the Yankees, including helping them reach the World Series. Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed a lighthearted jab at Soto's new Mets uniform, maintaining a good rapport despite Soto's departure. Soto's decision was influenced by comfort and belief in the Mets’ long-term potential, with Mets owner Steve Cohen emphasizing Soto's unique talent as a reason for the substantial contract. As Soto prepares for his return to Yankee Stadium with the Mets, he anticipates a challenging reception from Yankees fans, though he holds fond memories of his time with the team. The Yankees have since made notable roster changes, including the additions of Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams, and Paul Goldschmidt, to fill the void left by Soto.
