Mets slugger and former Yankee Juan Soto went 0-for-2 before getting subbed out for Tyrone Taylor in right field.<\/p>\n<p>The contest was the first time that Soto played the Yankees since leaving them in the winter. The 26-year-old signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets in free agency, leaving the Bronx Bombers behind after helping them get to the World Series last season.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Yankees don&#8217;t have any ill will toward Soto at this point, at least not publicly.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/1TMTr6G9tuzNqB_AC9KsAg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/athlon_sports_articles_610\/fd7e7e8e7aaa030d52b07584a2f31b87\" alt=\"Yankees Star Sends 5-Word Message to Juan Soto\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>New York Mets right fielder Juan Soto.Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Right-handed pitcher Marcus Stroman had a kind message for the four-time All-Star on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The former Mets starter reposted The New York Post&#8217;s backpage story of Soto and called him the &#8220;Youngest GOAT in the game&#8221; via his Instagram story.<\/p>\n<p>Stroman started Monday&#8217;s game and allowed two earned runs on six hits in 3.2 innings. Both runs were off of solo homers, and he also notched four strikeouts. The Post&#8217;s backpage photo shows Stroman gleefully greeting Soto, who he played with on the Yankees last season.<\/p>\n<p>Soto hit .289 with four homers, nine RBI, and a 1.049 OPS this spring. The 6-foot-1-inch, 224-pounder is continuing his momentum from the playoffs, when he slashed .327\/.469\/.633 with four homers and nine RBI in 14 games. The Yankees lost the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets start their regular-season slate with a three-game series against the Houston Astros and another against the Miami Marlins, both on the road.
