Whatever version of the plea the fans shouted, whether the rhythmic chants consisted of “please sign Soto” or “please stay Soto” or “sign Soto again,” Juan Soto — the subject of them all, in right field in the eighth inning — heard them.

Aaron Judge put his right hand to his ear and asked for more. Soto even laughed.

The Yankees’ two outfielders had just hit the first two legs of back-to-back home runs in the previous period to seal an eventual 10-3 victory over the Rockies on Sunday. That sent Soto into his 37th home run of the season, continuing to break his career-high.

Then the chants began. And they will almost certainly continue until Soto decides to stay in the Bronx or make a mega-deal somewhere else — even if he doesn’t seem convinced, at least not on the outside.

“I don’t know,” Soto joked afterward. “They’ve got to talk to (general manager Brian) Cashman.”

That set the stage for part of the eighth inning at Yankee Stadium.

After hitting an RBI single down the right-field line in the second inning and giving up a single in the fifth, Soto took the first pitch from Rockies reliever Jeff Criswell and threw it over the right-center field fence in the seventh inning.

Judge hit his 51st home run of the season on Criswell’s next delivery. Three pitches later, Giancarlo Stanton’s drive cleared the center fence.

Soto became the first Yankee since Jason Giambi in 2003 — and only the second in franchise history — to collect 108 or more RBIs in the team’s first 131 games of the season.

He’s at 109 with 31 games remaining in the regular season and whatever comes after that in the playoffs.

His average rose back to .299, and his slugging percentage of .606 and OPS of 1.034 are the highest since the shortened 2020 season.

“Fans are excited,” Judge said. “They have every right to be. He’s an unbelievable player. He’s done a lot for us this year and I think they definitely want to see a lot more of that. But ultimately it’s his decision and what’s best for him and his family. So we can just, we can do what we can based on the chants.”

The question will ultimately be whether the Yankees can keep Soto – and outbid everyone else – in free agency.

Soto didn’t drop any hints on Sunday, even when asked if this season and everything that has happened in it gave him hope that everything would turn out okay and the Yankees would get back together.

“I’ll tell you that in spring training,” he said.

Judge said he will try to spend some time with Soto after the season before the lottery begins.

The Post’s Jon Heyman recently conducted a poll of 13 experts who collectively predicted that Soto, who turns 26 in October, could attract a contract worth more than $520 million, and possibly as much as $600 million.

There will be many factors that will determine the exact amount and location, some of which will play out over the next 31 games and whatever follows in the playoffs.

And those moments will likely also be accompanied by serenades from fans.

“It’s obviously a tribute to someone who came here with a lot of fanfare and expectations and has done everything that was promised,” manager Aaron Boone said. “The fan base has definitely embraced him, and he’s embraced him right away.”
