Juan Soto makes his anticipated return to Yankee Stadium this weekend, having signed with the Mets after his impressive stint with the Yankees. Last season, opposing pitchers expressed relief at having Soto on their team rather than facing him. Now, pitchers Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt will confront Soto, stirring a rivalry as they face a player they once admired. Additionally, Max Fried, acquired using funds after Sotoâs signing, is set to feature in the series, increasing pressure on the Yankees' pitching strategy against Soto's celebrated hitting skills.
"Thereâs no denying that Juan Soto was a fan favorite during his time with the Yankees, and now thereâs a sense of rivalry as he returns to face his former teammates."
"Carlos Rodón and Clarke Schmidt are preparing to go head-to-head with Soto, who they admired from the mound last season."
"Sotoâs return means more than just a game; it symbolizes a shift in dynamics as he adjusts to life with the Mets post-Yankees."
"With Max Fried coming in to close out the series, the Yankees pitching staff must strategize carefully to contain Sotoâs hitting prowess."
