The New York Yankees arrived in Tampa Bay this weekend ahead of their spring training opener on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, meaning fans in attendance got their first glimpse of star outfielder Juan Soto donning his new gear.
He and new teammate Aaron Judge posed for some pictures while waiting for their turn to take swings during batting practice, and the Yankees’ social media team wasted no time providing some hilarious content for the fanbase, at the expense of MLB reporter Jon Heyman.
The Yankees welcomed Soto and Judge to camp while taking a friendly jab at Heyman, who previously made an infamous spelling mistake while incorrectly reporting that “Arson Judge” appeared to be heading to the San Francisco Giants in free agency—which ultimately was not true.
