Juan Soto‘s choice of a new walk-up song at Yankee Stadium on Saturday sparked speculation among fans about his future with the team. The New York Yankees slugger, who joined the team in the offseason, has been the subject of much discussion regarding his next career move.

Juan Soto’s new walk-up song, “I Like It” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin, contains a lyric that caught fans’ attention: “Where’s my pen, b***h I’m signing.” Many interpreted this as a potential hint that he might be considering extending his contract with the Yankees.

Renowned Yankees fan Madyson posted it on her Instagram profile leading to a flood of optimism among the Bronx faithful.


Reactions from fans on social media ranged from excitement to cautious optimism. Some expressed their hope that this signaled Juan Soto’s long-term commitment to the Yankees, while others remained skeptical, noting that the lyrics don’t specify which team he might be signing with.

Juan Soto, who was traded to the Yankees from the San Diego Padres last offseason, is expected to become a free agent at the end of the season. The New York Mets, the Yankees’ crosstown rivals, have been frequently mentioned as potential suitors for the four-time All-Star.

Earlier, Juan Soto had made comments before the 2024 All-Star game that fueled speculation about his future. When asked about which player he’d like to team up with, he mentioned Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, noting the challenge of being in different leagues. There are also rumors of no momentum in the potential talks between him and the Yankees.

On the field, Juan Soto has been performing well for the Yankees. In the series opener against the Rays on Friday, he drove in three runs as part of a four-hit game that included a little league home run. Despite the slugger extending his hitting streak to three games on Saturday, the Yankees suffered a 9-1 loss to the Rays, evening the three-game series.

As the season progresses, fans and analysts alike will undoubtedly continue to scrutinize Juan Soto’s performance and any potential hints about his future plans, with his walk-up song choice being the latest source of speculation.
