New York Yankees star Juan Soto brushed off Luis Severino's dismissive remark about the Bronx Bombers' offense.

The New York Mets starting pitcher, who spent the previous eight seasons in pinstripes, said he wasn't scared by the prospect of facing his old team and suggested the Yankees "only have two good hitters."

Following Monday's 9-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, Soto responded that Severino and the Mets "can think whatever they want."

"We dominated most of the first half, so I don't think this is only about one or two players," he told reporters.
