Far from being intimidated, Soto <strong>responded with a serene smile<\/strong>, demonstrating composure in the face of the Bronx&#8217;s pressure. And when the applause, although scarce, began to sound, the slugger <strong>raised his helmet and bowed<\/strong> to those who still showed him respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Juan Soto steps up to the plate and acknowledges the Bronx faithful in his first at-bat<br><br>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SNYtv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SNYtv<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uroZwOlyUM\">pic.twitter.com\/uroZwOlyUM<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1923517029400670488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A first shift loaded with tension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facing his former teammate <strong>Carlos Rod\u00f3n<\/strong>, Soto saw five pitches that ended with a walk to first base. Throughout the entire at-bat, the sound of boos did not cease. Even so, the Mets outfielder remained firm and continued on his way without being fazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the bottom of the first inning, already positioned in right field, the boos intensified. It was then that the scene was repeated: massive rejection from the stands, but also some scattered applause. A reflection of the pain that Yankees fans still carry after his departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The contract that changed history<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soto left the Yankees in the past offseason, signing a <strong>historic $765 million, 15-year deal<\/strong> with the New York Mets. He rejected the $760 million, 16-year offer proposed by his then-team, a decision that still resonates deeply among Bronx fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The noise was comparable \u2014and perhaps greater\u2014 to what he faced last year in San Diego. But this time, the emotional context was different: <strong>Soto was not only returning to a former home, but to the broken hearts of thousands of fans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The bleacher creatures all turned around when Juan Soto came out to right field <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WIFtEIBARr\">pic.twitter.com\/WIFtEIBARr<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Talkin&#39; Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TalkinBaseball_\/status\/1923520465626116401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 16, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bronx, New York. \u2014 The long-awaited return of Juan Soto to Yankee Stadium did not go unnoticed.
