Juan Soto Signs Historic Deal with Mets

Juan Soto's recent decision to sign a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets has shocked many, especially Yankees fans who felt betrayed after he previously contributed to their World Series run. The Yankees offered Soto $760 million over 16 years but were outbid by the Mets, who also added perks like a suite at Citi Field which Yankees management refused to provide. Fans expressed their anger through social media and even by burning Soto's Yankees jersey, questioning his loyalty after he had garnered their affection during his time in the Bronx. Notable reactions included actor Nick Turturro's passionate videos cursing Soto and expressing disappointment in his choice to join the Mets. Soto's departure has left a significant mark, with fans mourning the loss of a generational talent who posted impressive stats during his season as a Yankee. As Soto prepares to return to Yankee Stadium in May, the atmosphere is expected to be tense given the backlash from fans.
