Overview

  • During a Yankees-Diamondbacks game on April 3, fans chanted 'F*** Juan Soto,' despite Soto and the Mets not being involved in the game.
  • The chants reflect lingering resentment over Soto's move to the Mets on a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract after one season with the Yankees.
  • Yankees announcer Michael Kay condemned the chants as 'embarrassing' and 'little brother nonsense,' urging fans to uphold higher standards.
  • Some Yankees fans have criticized their peers for the chants, calling them 'pathetic' and urging the fanbase to move on.
  • Soto, warmly received by Mets fans during his Citi Field debut, remains focused on his performance and is prepared for a hostile reception during the Subway Series in May.
