When the applause sounded, the slugger raised his helmet and bowed.<\/p>\n\n<p>In his first at-bat against his former teammate Carlos Rod\u00f3n, Soto saw five pitches and drew a walk.

He rejected the 16-year, $760 million offer proposed by his then-team, a decision that still resonates deeply among the Bronx faithful.<\/p>\n\n<p>The noise was comparable to what he faced last year in San Diego. But this time, the emotional context was different: Soto was not only returning to a former home, but to the broken hearts of thousands of fans.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GK-f2P-XgAAw_27?format=jpg&amp;name=large\" alt=\"Reacci\u00f3n de los fan\u00e1ticos de los Yankees ante la presencia de Juan Soto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bronx, New York.
