The New York Yankees gave up five players for Juan Soto. The throw-in might be their salvation.<\/p><p>The Bronx will be seething Friday night, filled with the kind of vituperation only New York fans can summon. Juan Soto is coming back to Yankee Stadium, and he&rsquo;ll be wearing the wrong uniform. It&rsquo;s been barely five months since Soto declined to re-sign with the Yankees and instead took Steve Cohen&rsquo;s $765 million to cross town and join the Mets.

While Soto has started somewhat sluggishly in Queens (.255 batting average, 8 homers, 20 RBIs, .845 OPS), Grisham has thrived in the Bronx, hitting .283 with 12 homers, 22 RBIs and a .995 OPS.<\/p><p>Is Trent Grisham Juan Soto? Of course not. The suggestion itself is absurd. Soto is a four-time All-Star who hasn&rsquo;t even turned 27 yet, a hitting savant who helped carry the Yankees to a World Series appearance with 41 homers and a .988 OPS last season. But baseball is strange and unpredictable, and right now, Grisham is making Soto&rsquo;s departure sting a little less than anyone could have possibly imagined.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/2026-wbc-just-got-a-lot-bigger-juan-soto-is-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>2026 WBC Just Got a Lot Bigger, Juan Soto Is In<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The Yankees have long attracted mercenaries who arrive, perform, and depart for greener pastures.
