During his first trip to the Bronx after signing a 15-year, $765-million contract with the New York Mets, Juan Soto faced a hostile reception from New York Yankees fans, who booed him upon his introduction and when he approached the plate. Soto acknowledged the intensity of the boos, stating they were the loudest he had ever received, and humorously saluted the crowd before walking in his first at-bat. Ultimately, he finished the game with three walks and one run scored, but the Yankees secured a 6-2 victory, ending with Soto flying out in the ninth inning.
