Juan Soto shocked the baseball world this offseason when he left the New York Yankees after one season and signed a record 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets.
Since signing, Soto has been making headlines with his slick shots on his former team, and a recent video of his latest is going viral.
The video, originally shared on TikTok, shows Soto enjoying the night with his friends at a club in the Dominican Republic, and when El Alfa and Foreign Teck’s “Soto Shuffle” played, Soto went silent as the Yankees ’s part joined the track and started shouting “Los Mets”.
Juan Soto wasn’t feeling the “Yankee” part of the Soto Shuffle.😅

Perhaps an updated version of the song will be released, as it is already outdated.
Soto ruffled feathers when he said during his introductory press conference that New York has always been a Big City, and fans also raised eyebrows when Soto revealed that he hasn’t spoken to any of his former Yankees teammates since the season ended.
It’s still somewhat surreal that Soto moved to town to join the Mets, because things like this never happen with the Yankees.
Fans are used to the Yankees getting whoever they want as long as they throw in their money and baggage, but this time they outplayed their crosstown rivals and will now have to play Soto next in the same city. 15 years.
His one year with the Yankees was incredible as he helped the team reach the World Series, but that part of his career is over.
