Yankees Tease Mets Juan Soto in Playoff Hype Amid Mets Early Exit

The New York Yankees released a viral video ahead of their 2025 MLB Wild Card series against the Boston Red Sox that taunts Juan Soto and the New York Mets. Narrated by Ryan Ruocco, the video features Soto striking out as a Met followed by clips of Yankees' Cody Bellinger hitting a home run, highlighting the rivalry and Soto's controversial move from the Yankees to the Mets on a lucrative contract. Despite the Mets signing Soto and being favored to win the World Series, their 2025 season ended prematurely after being eliminated by the Miami Marlins, while the Yankees remain in playoff contention. The video has sparked strong reactions from fans online, with many praising the Yankees' social media team for their pointed jab at Soto and the Mets. Analysts note that the Yankees’ successful acquisition of players like Bellinger and Max Fried has helped offset the loss of Soto, contributing to their playoff push. The video serves both as a reminder of the rivalry and a statement of intent from the Yankees as they aim to advance further in the postseason.
