And as the Mets star descends on Yankee Stadium for the first time since leaving on Friday night, Yankees captain Aaron Judge revealed what he learned from Soto in the one season they played together.

After Soto signed with the Mets, the Yankees pivoted and used part of the money to sign Max Fried and Paul Goldschmidt, and trade for Cody Bellinger. Fried has been arguably the best pitcher in the league this year and Goldschmidt has been a revelation at first base. Bellinger, after a slow start, has been very good the last 2-3 weeks.

New York Yankees fans will likely create a hostile environment as their team hosts the New York Mets for the first time since Juan Soto left.
