The first time he was traded, Juan Soto cried all day. The second time, he shrugged and went back to work.
“I already went through it,” he says, sitting at his locker at New York Yankees camp, a member of his third team before turning 26. “The first time hurt more. That was the team that gave me a chance, that trusted me, that brought me all the way up. That’s the team I won a championship with. That hurts a lot. When you win a championship, you want to win another one with that team. It was tough. But it did show me that that’s the hard part of the game, and I learned from it. I took it, and I just kept moving forward, and I was kind of prepared for anything else.”
