Juan Soto is the second most loved Yankee this year after captain Aaron Judge. The dynamic duo is rewriting history with close to 90 home runs combined before September even begins. That’s some alien stuff that even the fans cannot comprehend at the moment.
That being said, during the Sunday series finale against the Colorado Rockies, Juan Soto extended his season-high home run tally, followed by two more solo shots from captain Aaron Judge and DH Giancarlo Stanton. Meanwhile, the fans simply loved the historic moment and took the opportunity to lure Soto back to the Bronx with loud chants.
Juan Soto Smirks As Fans Erupts In ‘Re-Sign Soto’ Chants
Sunday night was historical in all senses as the New York Yankees’ powerful trio, Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton set the Yankee Stadium on fire. The trio went back-to-back to score three home runs on the trot to lead the team to a 10-3 impressive victory. The madness unfolded with Soto’s moonshot over the right-center field to bring up the 37th blast of the season, thus extending the career-high tally. Judge and Stanton added two more solo shots to become the first Yankee trio to achieve the feat since 2020. Meanwhile, as the Yanks inched closer to victory, fans at the Yankee Stadium erupted in “Please sign Soto,” “Please stay Soto,” or “re-sign Soto” chants in a bid to lure the generational star back to the Bronx.
Juan Soto is eligible to enter free agency in 2025, and his extension with the New York Yankees is still on the table. Hence, the fans want to leave no stone unturned in professing their love for the slugger. Meanwhile, Soto responded to the chants and urged the fans to talk to general manager Brian Cashman as he is the one to call the shots. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge, the Yankee captain, joined the chorus and fuelled the chants from the center field as well. He said the fans were excited to have an incredible player and understandably want to see more of Soto beyond the 2024 MLB season. But at the same time, Aaron Judge also understands that the decision lies at the helm of Soto, who will carefully evaluate his family and personal needs before making a decision. “So we can only, we can do what we can from the chants,” said Judge.
Aaron Judge To Pitch Soto To Stay In New York!
Meanwhile, New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge insisted that he will take efforts into convincing Juan Soto to stay in New York beyond the 2024 season. He plans to spend more time with the generational star once the season nears its business end to understand his mindset and accordingly lure him into staying.
On the other hand, Juan Soto was essentially non-committal about his future plans. “I’ll tell you that in spring training,” Soto said when quizzed about his free agency plans. Regardless, the Yankees will definitely be a front-runner to land Soto next off-season, irrespective of the market value, as Soto has built a connection with the fans and teammates.
