If there's a more annoying fan base in professional sports than the New York Yankees, we definitely don't want to meet them.
On Sunday, during a Yankees vs. Marlins game in New York, fans broke out in an "(Expletive) Juan Soto!" chant. The Yankees fell to the Marlins, 7-6, in the final game of the series.
Soto, who spent just one season in New York, left the Yankees for the Mets in free agency prior to the 2025 season. He's now spent more time with the Mets than he did the Yankees.
But Yankees fans remain jilted lovers.
New York Yankees announcer Michael Kay ripped the fan base for loser behavior.
Yankees announcer tees off on the fan base
“Yankee fans, it’s an awful look,” Kay ranted. “It’s not something that should become a thing. It’s an awful look. You look like babies, you look like jilted lovers that you’re upset that Juan Soto left you for the Mets. There’s nothing that would have led you, a right-minded fan, to chant that. Nothing. You make yourself look small, you make yourself look jealous, you make yourself look like you can’t accept the fact that somebody left you.
“Juan Soto didn’t do anything wrong. He went to the Mets, who had a better deal on the table…That doesn’t mean you make yourself look so small-town where this becomes a thing like ‘bleep Jose Altuve’ and now it becomes ‘bleep Juan Soto.’ No, that’s not good! That’s a bad look for Yankee fans if this becomes a thing. Juan Soto does not deserve it, number one. Number two, you’re giving ammunition to Met fans…what are you doing? Who are the people that did it?” Kay asked. “Shame on all of you. It’s disgraceful. Don’t to that! You know how ridiculous it makes you look? What’s the end game? To look jealous? To look small?”
The Yankees, who last won a World Series in 2009, are off to a good start in 2026. They're 7-2 on the year.
