Soto's Mets vs Yankees: A New Rivalry

0:00It's March 23rd, from the locker room to your ears. This is New York Metz News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Juan Soto shocked everyone by signing with the New York Metz instead of staying with the New York Yankees. The Metz won a fierce bidding war for the star outfielder, who's seen as a future hallofamer right in his prime. This thing's re Yankees fans, especially since fellow players voted Soto the best in the league at challenging bad ball and strike calls, even ahead of Aaron Judge. Both Soto and Judge have incredible eyes at the plate. Judge, the towering 6 foot 7 slugger, often gets robbed on low pitches outside the zone. More than any other hitter, he's taken called strikes on those borderline balls. Together last year, they could have been unstoppable, especially now with the new automated ball strike system in play. Yankees fans are filling the burn extra hard. They imagine the duo back-to-back, dominating pitchers who used to nibble on the edges.

1:01Losing Soto means missing that dream lineup, and the rivalry with the Metz across town just got personal. The Yankees are crushing it with the ABS system so far. They lead all teams and successful challenges, thanks to their aggressive approach for manager Aaron Boone. Meanwhile, Soto's Metz sit at the bottom of the list, though both stars missed time for the World Baseball Classic. It's a tough pill for Yankees supporters, but their team looks strong early on. With the judge leading the charge, they might just turn that what if into a real edge over the Metz this season.
