I dislike the Mets, love the Yanks.
However.
Soto may have received nothing but love and respect at Yankee Stadium. Mostly because he's not really a streaky hitter, and is a picture of consistency at what he does good.
but...
In his first (and only) year in Yankee Stadium, he witnessed Aaron Judge regularly getting mercilessly booed at Yankee Stadium for the 1st month of the season, when Judge was mired in a slump, before he broke out of it, and ended up having a somewhat historical regular season.
That's Aaron Judge! The most beloved figure in New York since Derek Jeter and Mark Messier.
What happens when the guy now getting paid MORE than Judge, and was NOT a homegrown hero, takes a statistical downturn or goes into a slump? Mets fans aren't any more acerbic then Yankees fans.
Also, the suite had nothing to do with nothing.
Cohen was going to outbid whoever, and that's what Scott Boras was whispering into Soto's ear. Leverage the Yankees, Dodgers and whoever else, and prove I'm the superstar agent everybody thinks I am...whether it makes me or you seem like a villain or not.
