When Juan Soto recently declared the New York Mets stood a better chance of claiming the World Series than the New York Yankees, Aaron Judge responded with a characteristic grace but made his viewpoint clear.

The Mets' vision for the future, as well as a record contract, ultimately sold Soto to spurn the Yankees for the Mets. And he'll hear it from Yankees fans when the Mets travel to the Bronx for a three-game series in May. But Soto made it clear how he plans to deal with such animosity.

Asked about Soto saying he chose the New York Mets because they have a better chance of winning a World Series, Judge smirked before graciously pushing back.
