A WFAN Sports Radio host caused a stir by saying the New York Mets are now the Yankees’ biggest rival. Fans quickly disagreed, saying teams like the Boston Red Sox or the Houston Astros matter more. This debate shows how much New York baseball fans care about their teams. The argument is heating up online and among listeners.

WFAN commentator claims Mets are Yankees’ top rival

On June 7, 2025, WFAN’s Evan Roberts shocked listeners by claiming the New York Mets are the Yankees’ top rival, surpassing teams like the Boston Red Sox or Houston Astros. He said the excitement during the recent Subway Series, especially with Juan Soto now playing for the Mets, proves this. Roberts even suggested that WFAN hosts Keith McPherson, Chris McMonigle, and Sean Morash, called the “law firm,” agree deep down. But fans pushed back hard, with one posting on X, This is laughable. I don't think twice about the Mets. In fact, if they play Houston, the Dodgers or Boston, I want them to win. Mets fans want so bad for them to be our biggest rival. Lol.Many fans believe the Red Sox, with their long history of intense games, or even the Astros, due to past playoff battles, are the true rivals. This bold claim has sparked a lively debate about what makes a real rivalry in baseball today.Also Read: New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox: Predicted lineup, venue, where to watch, and more (June 7, 2025)

Juan Soto’s move to Mets fuels rivalry tension

Juan Soto’s massive $765 million contract with the Mets after leaving the Yankees has made the rivalry talk hotter. When Soto returned to Yankee Stadium in May 2025 for the Subway Series, fans booed loudly, which Roberts said shows the Mets-Yankees rivalry is growing stronger.The Red Sox rivalry, built on decades of epic matchups, still feels bigger to many fans. With the Mets getting stronger under owner Steve Cohen, some wonder if they could become the Yankees' top rival, but most fans aren't convinced yet.The debate over the Yankees' biggest rival keeps New York baseball fans talking. Roberts’ comments have stirred up passion, but many still see the Red Sox as the true enemy. As the next Subway Series looms, fans are ready to cheer and argue even louder.
