Soto, Yankees Trade Banter; Subway Series Heats Up

0:00On March 25th, as both New York teams gear up for opening day, the Yankees dropped a high video on social media showing Metz's star Juan Soto getting struck out by their picture Max Fried. Soto, who left the Yankees as a free agent to join the Metz, spotted himself as the only opponent highlighted and fired back with laughing emojis and, the phrase, rent-free. He quickly deleted the comment, but not before fans screenshot it and shared it everywhere. The video caption talked about the Yankees fanbase following them anywhere, which seemed to poke at Soto, living in their heads, rent-free. Yankees manager Aaron Boone jumped into the fun on radio, joking that Soto still misses the Bronx bombers, though he admitted he was kidding. Dodger's skipper Dave Roberts called him out playfully, comparing it to typical Yankees fan talk. This exchange has reignited the rivalry buzz, especially with the Metz opening against the Pirates on March 26th, and the Yankees on the road. This is the Giants the day before. Their first matchup comes May 15th.
