Juan Soto is just beginning his era with the New York Mets, and the criticism for leaving the Yankees continues. Soto had a strong run in the Bronx, but his choice of leaving has angered Yankees fans. Many are still upset with his decision to join their crosstown rival, and Aaron Boone’s latest comment has drawn attention.
The Yankees and Mets had a spring training game in Queens. It was the first time Soto went up against his former team. The All-Star met some of his former teammates and talked to Boone. During an interview, Boone mentioned that he told Juan Soto he looked terrible in his uniform.
Most Yankees fans were happy with what he said, and they took to social media to back their manager. Here’s a look at some fan reactions from X.
“Soto is baby because he couldn’t live in the shadows of Judge. So many of these moves don’t workout and I suspect this one won’t be any different,” one fan wrote.

It’s common for fans to boo their former players, especially when they pick another team. However, getting booed on home turf was a big surprise. Juan Soto will have a tough challenge when he plays the Yankees in the Bronx.
On the other hand, former Yankees player Brett Gardner announced the tragic news of his 14-year-old son’s passing.
