High bonuses! Juan Soto is welcomed in a big way in NY
The crowd at the park was delighted to see the Yankees’ home debut despite a 3-0 loss to the Blue Jays. The fans received Juan Soto with a standing ovation.
NEW YORK. Dominican Juan Soto, playing his first home game at Yankee Stadium, received thunderous applause from the fans of “Los Mulos.”
Upon leaving the dugout to defend right field, the Dominican outfielder raised both hands and bowed with his cap to the fans, and they were delighted to see the new star of the New York team.
The Dominican outfielder’s debut came just hours after New York City was rocked by an earthquake measuring 4.8 on the Richter scale.
His first game in the Bronx was against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Soto’s charisma is more than evident, in addition to the fact that he always makes every effort to contribute to the team, whether with the bat or on defense from the right field.
Juan Soto has the Yankees’ high expectations today and should be a key player in the team’s success this season.
Soto had a spectacular debut at the beginning of the season, which the Yankees expected when they traded for the Dominican outfielder.
In the first four games of his career with the Bronx Bombers, Soto hit .529 with a 1.365 OPS, while his OPS+ was 289.
In addition, he hit a home run, drove in four runs, and scored twice.
The left-handed power hitter’s salary for the 2024 season will be $31 million, breaking the $30 million mark set by Shohei Ohtani for the 2023 season.
Dinamic player!!!
