Juan Soto is determined to enjoy the Subway Series as a Yankees villain
NY Post
Juan Soto is about to hear the cost of signing with the Mets.
He received $765 million, none deferred, $75 million as a signing bonus and a no-trade clause.
He received a 15-year commitment from an organization with which he said he had “the best chance” of winning championships for the duration of his contract, believing the Mets had a brighter future than the Yankees. He notably received a luxury suite and just about anything else Steve Cohen could give him.
And he spent all of his goodwill built up across boroughs.
The same fans who last year fell in love with the superstar, who chanted “Re-sign Soto” and begged Hal Steinbrenner to do whatever it would take to secure him, have turned firmly against a player who turned down $760 million, immortality in Monument Park and the next-level fame that would come with playing on the biggest platform in baseball.
The Yankees have been on the road for the past week, so their fans’ voices will be fresh for what promises to be a unique and guttural shower of boos.
