“So salty”- Mets fans slam Yankees’ fans after Juan Soto tips his helmet to the Yankees’ fans ahead of his first time up

On Friday night, Juan Soto played at Yankee Stadium for the first time since joining the Mets. While playing against the Yankees, Soto experienced not just a tough game but also tougher fans, who kept booing him during the match over his choice to play with the New York Mets. It cannot be forgotten how, last year, it was Soto, who helped the Yankees reach the World Series. But during the offseason, Soto turned down a $760 million offer from the Yankees and signed a record $765 million deal with the Mets. This made many Yankee fans upset. Friday’s game was the start of the 2025 Subway Series, where the Mets and Yankees played each other. They’ll have three games this weekend in the Bronx and three more in July at Citi Field. Soto was a big star for the Yankees, but now plays for their rivals.Before Soto made his return to the Yankee stadium, he had said:"It's going to be 50,000 against 1. They're going to try to get on me, you know. It's part of it, Whatever they do, they have a right to do it ... It's going to be good. We're going to have a good time."As the Subway Series begins, both the Mets and Yankees are in first place. The Mets have a 28-16 record and are 2.5 games ahead of the Phillies in the National League East. The Yankees are 25-18 and have the biggest lead in any division — four games ahead of the Red Sox in the American League East. The game on Friday night, which was as intense as it could get, welcomed Juan Soto with boos. While he handled the situation gracefully, Yankees and Mets’ fans remained divided, accusing each other of supporting and not supporting Juan Soto. While Mets’ fans called Yankees’ fans “salty,” the latter called him a “traitor.” Here are some of the fan reactions:A fan said:“Yankee fans sooooo salty LOL.”Another fan called him:“Traitor.”Another fan reacted saying:“Boos and cheers, that's what I thought he'll get.”Another fan said:“Guy is going to give nightmares to NYY fans.”Meanwhile, another fan said:“Love the way he handled it gotta respect it.”Also Read: Boos or not, Juan Soto stays unbothered in epic return to Yankee Stadium with MetsAnother fan reacted:https://pa.tgsession.com/3sw651_4xjjbtf/5pr9q9vw/6wacxmxec/9nq3480183483045921396?5pryvr;s=2ftnOE_9h7kweQunUFJdtcEGy&1eqx=2qx89“They acted like he was their forever.”
