Currently, Juan Soto is one of the best hitters in the New York Yankees team. The other superstar slugger in the team is the captain himself, Aaron Judge. In the batting order, the 2022 AL MVP comes right after the Dominican superstar. That’s the kind of batting order Aaron Boone made this season. It has been working so far, as the NY side had a great start to the season. However, last month saw a dip in their performance and the results. Since June 13, the Bronx Bombers went 6-16. Later, in July, they had an even worse start as they went 4-8. Then, it was the time for the much-needed Midsummer Classic.
Both Aaron Judge and Juan Soto made it to the 2024 All-Star Game. The two best hitters of the Yankees had a winning night as the American League defeated the National League 5-3. Clearly, both Soto and Judge needed this break to rejuvenate, and so did the rest of the team. Lately, an ex-Yankees pitcher commented that the NY side is all about the Judge-Soto duo. In reply, the Dominican slugger said that he doesn’t agree with that.
Juan Soto Replies To Severino, Saying, “It’s Not Just About One Or Two Players”
Luis Severino of the New York Mets won’t pitch in the next Subway Series. Since that information came out, the former Yankees teammates have been teasing the Mets pitcher in their group chat. Some joked that the ex-Yankees hurler is afraid of facing them. Later, on Friday via MLB.com, Severino mentioned that he is not scared. Adding to that, he commented, “You have only two good hitters at the moment.” Moreover, the former hurler of the Bronx Bombers believes he can walk those two guys. Anyway, Severino says there is always friendly competition with guys he has already played with. Moreover, he believes it is going to be fun when eventually he can face them. Later, Juan Soto gave a reply to Severino’s comments that suggested the Bronx Bombers rely too much on him and his partner in baseball crime.

The Dominican slugger mentioned that they can think whatever they want and said, “It is what it is.” Moreover, he added that at the end of the day, everyone in the clubhouse trust and believe in each other. Additionally, Soto said that this team has everything it needs to show the world that they can win big. Moreover, the Yankees outfielder said they proved it in the first half of the season as they dominated most of it. He believes when a team can do that it is not only about one or two guys. Soto noted, “It takes every single player in the lineup, everything. Hence, I don’t believe it’s a two-player team.” Finally, Juan Soto says that he believes it is a really good team at the moment.
The Dominican Slugger Focused On Winning The Subway Series
Luis Severino was part of the NY Yankees from 2015 to 2023. Last December, he signed a one-year deal worth $13 million with the New York Mets. Next Tuesday, he could have faced his old team again. But he is going to miss it. On the other hand, the Yankees are coming off a big Game 4 win against the Tampa Bay Rays. They managed to save the series. Anyway, Juan Soto is someone who hates dwelling on the past.
He said whatever happened in the past is there in the past. Now, as a team they are focusing on trying to win as many games as possible. Soto added that the team is looking forward to winning the next series and just “Keep it rolling.” The next Subway Series will be of two games, starting on Tuesday.
