The Subway Series — a rivalry between the New York Mets and the New York Yankees — settles the argument every year over which team earns regular-season bragging rights. Whether it’s the infamous broken-bat incident between Mike Piazza and Roger Clemens in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series or the trash-talking between Francisco Lindor and Giancarlo Stanton as they exchanged home runs, the highly anticipated matchup between these two rosters consistently delivers great entertainment.
This year, however, feels different. After spending one World Series-driven season with the Yankees in 2024, Juan Soto hopped on the 7 train to Queens, signing with the Mets for an MLB record-setting contract. The move not only upset Yankees fans but also put Soto under a new spotlight.
Led by Aaron Judge, who boasts a .413 batting average, the Yankees are the American League’s second-best squad. They haven’t stopped hitting the ball out of the park, leading the MLB with 76 total home runs. Despite facing adversity through injuries and pitching changes, the Yankees have electrified the start of the 2025 season.
