Aaron Judge reflected on Juan Soto's move from the Yankees to the Mets, acknowledging the personal feelings of fans while emphasizing their friendship. He praised Soto's decision as best for him and his family, despite the disappointment it brought to Yankees supporters. Soto, having played a crucial role in the Yankees' previous season, secured a 15-year contract worth potentially over $800M with the Mets after the Yankees offered a similar deal. Judge admitted that while Soto's departure stung, he appreciates Soto's focus on winning and their time together.
"It's definitely personal for the fans and they can have their opinion, and we'll kind of keep it at that because Soto is a good friend of mine."
"When I saw the years and amount of money, it was just amazing news. Did it hurt? It's tough to say."
