Juan Soto’s future with the Washington Nationals has been quite a storyline within the team over the past several months.
For one, Soto confirmed in February that he turned down a hefty 13-year, $350 million extension offer from the Nationals ahead of the lockout, as he aspires to instead wait until his free agency period to sign off on a new deal. More so, ESPN’s Buster Olney fueled chatter of a possible Soto trade earlier this month when he noted that rival executives see the Nationals may be “compelled” to move the outfielder later this year.
New York Post’s Jon Heyman chimed in on Soto’s future in Washington on the “Big Time Baseball” podcast with MLB insider Joel Sherman.
