The Dominican Juan Soto has just finished his fourth full season in MLB and just 22 years old He’s already one of the best pound-for-pound players in the business, and the Washington Nationals are clear that he is the cornerstone from his winning project to the future, being the only untouchable player during the last trade final date, where practically everyone went, including champion and vital players like Max Scherzer and Trea Turner; everyone except him.
However, the expert columnist of the Washington Nationals for the MASN chain, Mark Zuckerman, mentioned that although the plan of the capitalists is to stay at all costs with Juan Soto in the future and they are willing to shell out a good amount of money to be able to keep him , there is very little probability that the Dominican wants to accept any contract extension before he becomes a free agent at the end of the 2024 campaign.
Zuckerman says Soto just doesn’t have the incentive to roll over money, as he will earn a lot in arbitration in his upcoming seasons until he becomes a free agent.
Nationals can (and should) make you a real offer and let everyone know they’re serious about keeping it. They still have three more seasons with him, but that was his case with Bryce Harper and the truth is that there is very little reason for Soto to accept an offer when he is already going to be given a lot of money in arbitration, probably around 16 million dollars. this low season.
It has been reported that Juan Soto’s agent, Scott Boras, would be influencing the player in seeking in free agency around 400 million dollars in contracts, which does not seem exaggerated for a 22-year-old player who is already a World Series champion. , All-Star and MVP candidate.
