Mets Juan Soto expects nice time in exchange to Yankee Stadium

By the end of the previous season and in a post-season career where the New York Yankees made their first World Series appearance since 2009, the love between fans and all-Star outdoor player Juan Soto was clear and emphasized by the daily “re-sign Soto” singing. Six weeks after the Yankees Game 5 of the World Series lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Soto joined the New York Mets on a record of a record of 15 years, $ 765 million. Since Soto signed, his first trip back to Yankee Stadium was expected. It comes on Friday night when the Mets visit the Yankees for the opener of a series of three matches between divisional leaders who also coincide with the New York Knicks hosting the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference semi-finals. Soto hits .255 with eight homers and 20 RBIs, and he’s 13-by-45 (.289) in his past 12 games after beating .241 in the first month of the season. He took second place in the order between Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso for every game, except Wednesday, when he got off that evening for a rainy loss of 4-0 to the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. “It’s going to be nice,” Soto said about the Yankees series after the Mets were empty for the second time this season for the second time this season. “It’s going to be fine. We are going to have a good time. ‘ For the most part, the Mets enjoy a good time. After taking the World Series champion Dodgers after six games in the 2024 NLCs, they have been in the first place every day since April 11 and are 6-3 in their past nine games. After Soto rejected the Yankees’ 16-year offer of $ 760 million from the Yankees, the team used some money to sign starting batsman Max Fried and the seven times All-Star First Baseman Paul Goldschmidt, the 2022 National League MVP. The Yankees obtained the two-time all-Star outdoor Cody Bellinger, the NL MVP of 2019, in a trade. They give the series a little more depth above six-time all-Star outdoor player Aaron Judge, the 2022 and 2024 American League MVP, leading the big leagues with a batting average of .412, 15 homers and 41 RBIs. “I think it will be very exciting for the fan bases,” said Yankees manager Aaron Boone, “especially everything that is going on in New York, hopefully at the point of a series victory and we play the Mets and everything that comes with it. Hopefully the weather is good and makes it good for our city.” Judge’s performance helps the Yankees to the greatest lead among any divisional leader. His youngest Homer helped defending Al champions win a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners in the final of a six-game. Judge hit a tire-Homer in the eighth innings after Goldschmidt hit his second career hit Homer in seventh place. Soto’s first bat of his return is against Carlos Rodon (4-3, 3.29 era), who started 3-0 with a 1.71 era during his past five. Rodon made his second direct decision on Saturday when he allowed four runs on eight strokes in six innings of an 11-7 loss to the athletics. Soto is 0-for-2 with a walk against Rodon. The left hand is 2-0 with a 0.84 era in two starts against the Mets, which he held to one four strokes in 5 2/3 overs on July 26, 2023 for his first win as a Yankee on July 26, 2023. Megill took the loss on Saturday when he tied a seasonal height by allowing four runs to go with seven strokes in 4 2/3 innings from a 6-5 home loss against the Chicago Cubs. Megill won his only previous start against the Yankees on September 10, 2021 when he knocked out 10 and allowed two runs in seven innings of a 10-3 victory. -Media on the field level
