ESPN: Aaron Judge Puts an End to Rumors Regarding His Relationship With Juan Soto

Although there is a competition to be the greatest in New York City, Yankees skipper Aaron Judge recently allayed reports that he and new Mets star Juan Soto were at odds. Judge said that he FaceTimed Soto this week to check in with his old colleague and friend in an interview with NJ.com columnist Bob Klapisch. Judge informed Klapisch, “I believe Juan made the right choice for himself and his family.” “No animosity exists. We remain pals.

This offseason, there has been a lot of conjecture over the two sluggers’ connection. Judge acknowledged that he had not spoken to Soto since the conclusion of the World Series while he negotiated the maelstrom of free agency. That infuriated Yankees supporters, who began to question why Judge wasn’t attempting to get Soto to return to the Bronx. Baseball fans began looking for hints concerning Judge and Soto’s connection when it was disclosed that Soto had changed his phone number. As it happens, there was no animosity.

Soto was landing the largest free-agent deal in the history of the game, and Judge was becoming a first-time father. Soto will spend 15 years with the Mets after signing a $765 million contract. Judge reached out after he noticed that Soto had began his Mets career with a home run in his first at-bat during spring training. “I asked him how camp was going, how he was getting along with the new guys, about the whole situation over there,” Judge stated. “Juan is an amazing man. “You’re the best at fitting in,” I informed him. When you first arrived here, you were one of us. Everything will be all right with you.”

The two New York celebrities are getting along just fine. Off the field, they are still buddies. But on the field, the Mets will compete for bragging rights in New York when Soto makes his first appearance back in the Bronx on May 16.
