Four-time MLB All-Star Juan Soto has stole all the spotlight. On Sunday night, it was announced that he has agreed to join the New York Mets on a historic 15-year $765 million deal. This has not sat well with some fans. A video of a group of fans burning his jersey has now gone viral.
Soto joined the Yankees through a trade last December from the San Diego Padres. Upon his arrival in the Bronx, he became a fan-favorite.
The Dominican international continued to impress the fans with his performances throughout the year. He smashed 41 home runs while playing an important part in the Yankees’ first American Pennant title since 2009.
After the conclusion of the World Series, Soto became a free agent. There were some expectations that he could return to the Yankees after this incredible season. However, he choose their cross-town rivals, the Mets in the end.
