Watch: Yankees' Juan Soto has first career three-home run game

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Aug 13, 2024 10:50 PM ET

Juan Soto has been everything the New York Yankees could have hoped for and more since they acquired him this offseason. He has played at an MVP level and has been the perfect complement to Aaron Judge at the top of the order.

He continued his massive season on Tuesday night with the first three home run game of his career, clubbing a trio of long balls against the Chicago White Sox.

Here they are.

Soto is now up to 33 home runs for the season.

The big test for the Yankees is going to be whether or not they re-sign him after this season. He is eligible for free agency this winter and given his impact, his ability, his production and the fact he is still only in his mid-20s, New York can not afford to let him get away.

Wherever he signs, whether it is with the Yankees, the Mets or somebody else, he is going to get an absolutely massive contract based on this season's performance.
