It got to a point that by Sunday, Soto had no interest in doing an agreed-upon in-game interview with ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. According to a report from NJ.com, Soto simply was tired of being asked about Aaron Judge and the move to the Mets.

Cody Bellinger lofted a high fly to deep right field, where Juan Soto positioned himself in front of an unfriendly Yankee Stadium crowd and came up short.

With the Yankees and Mets considered championship contenders in the season’s early going, a repeat of 2000 is within the realm of possibility.

There is not a lot that fans of the Yankees and the Mets agree about as crosstown rivals. But one thing many have in common is a love for the Knicks.

But the Soto Subway Series did not include the star getting mic’d up for “Sunday Night Baseball,” which was the original plan. According to sources, the Mets star changed his mind prior to the game and was replaced by Brandon Nimmo.
