TAMPA, Fla. -- Aaron Judge wasn't that surprised by Juan Soto's decision to sign with the crosstown New York Mets but disagreed with his former superstar teammate about which team is in a better spot to compete.
Soto passed on a competitive offer from the Yankees in favor of a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets this winter, a decision he made in part due to a belief that the Mets gave him the best chance to win over the next 15 years.
Judge, who won AL MVP batting behind Soto and helped the Yankees reach the World Series, disagreed.
