In December 2023, the New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto, inadvertently acquiring Trent Grisham, who has since emerged as a crucial team member. By April 2025, Grisham boasted impressive stats with a .292 average, eight home runs, and a 1.009 OPS, helping the Yankees lead the majors in scoring. Meanwhile, Aaron Judge recorded historic numbers, contrasting sharply with Soto's underwhelming performance with the Mets. The upcoming Subway Series will be a pivotal moment for fan sentiment toward Soto, following mixed reactions since the trade.
Through the first month of 2025, Grisham has gone from a fourth outfielder to starting 18 games. He's hit .292 with eight home runs, 15 RBIs, and a 1.009 OPS, powering a Yankees lineup that led the majors in home runs (51) and averaged nearly six runs per game in April.
While Judge has publicly supported Soto, that is not how most people in the Bronx feel. Soto and the Mets will visit the Bronx on May 16 for the three-game Subway Series.
