Overview
- Yankee Stadium fans chanted an expletive at Juan Soto during the eighth inning on Sunday, and the audio carried on the television broadcast.
- Michael Kay said on ESPN New York on Monday that the chant was an awful look and made some fans sound like jilted lovers.
- The YES Network booth did not acknowledge the crowd during the Yankees’ game against the Marlins, whose opponent had no link to Soto.
- Soto spent the 2024 season with the Yankees before signing with the Mets in December 2024 as a free agent on what Kay described as a better offer.
- FanSided’s commentary frames the episode as lingering resentment while noting the Yankees’ post‑Soto shift toward veteran pitching under tighter spending, including the signing of Max Fried.
