Not every reunion in the Bronx comes with fireworks—some arrive with a nod, a quiet word, and a few raised eyebrows. In the world of towering home runs and tabloid-fueled rivalries, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto decided to keep things refreshingly… human. While fans expected drama, Judge offered something rarer: honesty. And in true Yankee fashion, it came with just the right amount of mystery and muscle.
The Subway Series was always filled with drama, but this time it was going to be different. This time, it had two of the biggest powerhouses in MLB going head to head. And Soto was going to face his former team and his friend, Judge. While people expected aggression from both sides, there wasn’t any.
During a recent interview, Aaron Judge talked about the Subway Series and meeting Juan Soto in different colors. He said, “Just said hello to him, I hadn’t seen him all series. Just kind of wishing him the best, kind of said, ‘hey man, you’re the best in the game.’”
As Aaron Judge says, Soto might be one of the best in the game, but in this series, his bat has completely gone missing. In the total 10 at-bats Soto has had against the Yankees this season, he has just 1 hit and has drawn 4 walks. This season has been a very average start for him when you look at the games he has had. He has an average of .246 with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs.
“Just said hello to him, I hadn’t seen him all series. Just kind of wishing him the best, kind of said, ‘hey man, you’re the best in the game. Things like this are gonna happen, just keep playing your game.”

At a similar point in the 2024 season, Soto was batting with an average of .324 with 11 home runs and 35 RBIs. While many people were saying that the switch in teams would not affect Soto, the numbers tell a totally different story, and this might be a concern for the Mets.
If numbers could talk, Soto’s 2025 stats are whispering more than shouting—and not in a way Mets fans want to hear. The switch to Queens hasn’t exactly sparked a power surge; instead, it’s more like a gentle flicker. Meanwhile, Judge’s calm nod reminds us that sometimes, even baseball’s biggest stars keep their drama off the field, leaving fans wondering if Soto’s next chapter will be a home run or just another strikeout.
