Juan Soto appears to already love being a member of the New York Yankees, and he has quickly struck up a relationship with the club’s captain and best player, Aaron Judge.
Soto, who was dealt to the Yankees in a seven-player trade in December, made his spring training debut against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, powering New York to a 12—6 victory with a three-run home run in the fourth inning.
But it was Soto’s comment about Judge after the game that drew almost as much attention as his mammoth, 428-foot home run off the scoreboard at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.
