32EBoozer Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34253271/sources-washington-nationals-open-listening-juan-soto-trade-offers-440m-contract-rejected The Washington Nationals are willing to listen to trade offers for Juan Soto after the star outfielder rejected their most recent long-term offer, league sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday. Sources said Soto turned down a 15-year, $440 million offer that would have been the largest contract in baseball history. Soto had told ESPN earlier this year that he declined a 13-year, $350 million offer prior to the offseason lockout. He is eligible to become a free agent after the 2024 season. But according to The Athletic, which first reported on the most recent rejected contract offer and the Nationals being open to listening to potential trades, some team officials no longer believe they will be able to reach any long-term deal with Soto. If Soto were to consider taking an extension from the Nationals, it would be one of significant length as well as an average annual value among the highest in the game, sources told ESPN. The $29.3 million per year in the Nationals' offer would rank only 15th among players based on their 2022 salaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Should the Yanks trade for him and give him the contract instead of Judge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Judge only costs $$$$$ Soto would cost Yanks prospects & $$$$$ Both are very good overall players. Soto younger (23) so you are paying for future. judge already 30 Judge- 6’7” & 282 lbs. Soto- 6’2” & 224 lbs. Which body will age better? I’d go with Soto, since I think he gives you everything Judge does for a longer period. All depends on whether Yank’s can get him signed. Hoping the Mets get him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge can handle New York, and has proven it. Soto, you don't know. Not everyone can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
