Juan Soto

With the MLB trade deadline less than a month away, superstar slugger Juan Soto is reportedly available. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, ...

Rosenthal adds that the offer did not include any deferred money. Rosenthal adds that the offer did not included any deferred money. Soto, who will play in his second career All-Star Game next week in Los Angeles, has spent his entire five-year career in Washington, hitting .292 with 117 homers and 354 RBIs over 553 games.

Soto reportedly rejected what would have been a record deal in MLB, prompting the team to more seriously consider trading him ahead of the Aug. 2 deadline.

He signed a 1-year, $17.1 million contract for the 2022 season and is eligible for arbitration in 2023. According to a report from The Athletic, Soto turned down a 15-year, $440 million contract that essentially would have made him a National for the remainder of his professional career. Washington has the worst record in the majors, at 32-60. … We have every intention of building this team around Juan Soto.” Soto is in line to become a free agent entering the 2025 season, though his refusal of the Nationals' latest offer — which surpassed the 12-year, $426.5 million contract the Angels offered Mike Trout in 2019 — suggests he will soon find his home with a new team, potentially setting him up for an even larger payday. The Nationals are reportedly open to entertaining trade offers for Juan Soto after the outfielder rejected a third offer from the team — the latest of which would have given him the richest contract in MLB history.

Les Nationals de Washington seraient prêts à échanger Juan Soto, puisqu'il aurait refusé de parapher un contrat monstre de 15 ans et 440 millions $.

Il est également le joueur ayant soutiré le plus de buts sur balles cette saison, avec 79 en 89 parties. Le journaliste du MLB Network Jon Heyman a rapporté samedi que les «Nats» pourraient conclure une transaction au plus tôt, avant que Soto ne devienne joueur autonome à la fin de la saison 2024. Celui qui a été invité au match des étoiles pour une deuxième fois a quelque peu racheté son début de saison 2022 difficile.

Il n'est pas impossible de croire qu'il pourrait changer d'adresse d'ici deux semaines.

On imagine que le club qui irait le chercher serait prêt à lui donner environ 500 millions de dollars. Cependant, trouver la bonne offre ne sera pas simple. Le DG Mike Rizzo avait nié cette possibilité-là, mais c'était avant que Soto ne refuse 440 M$.

The Nationals currently sport the worst record in the majors at 30-62. The Washington Nationals are now listening to trade proposals for Juan Soto after the all-star outfielder turned down a lucrative offer from the club, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Saturday. Rosenthal added that Soto is slated to become a free agent entering his Age 26 season.

Selon Ken Rosenthal du site The Athletic, Juan Soto aurait refusé une prolongation de contrat de 15 ans et 440 millions $ avec les Nationals de Washington.

Soto affiche une moyenne au bâton de ,247 et a 19 circuits au compteur depuis le début de la saison. Âgé de 23 ans, Soto refuse donc une troisième prolongation de contrat des Nationals dans les derniers mois. Juan Soto aurait refusé une offre de 440 millionsMLB samedi, 16 juil.

The 2022 MLB trade deadline just got a whole lot more interesting with the latest Juan Soto report.

That said, acquiring Soto isn't just going to cost a massive package of prospects and other pieces. The superstar outfielder has two more years of arbitration and cannot become an unrestricted free agent until after the 2024 season. Rosenthal also reports that the Nationals will now "entertain" trading Soto.

Juan Soto rejected a deal that would have made him the highest-paid player in MLB history.

Soto will reportedly be placed on the trade block after declining the Nationals' most recent extension offer.

This is almost certain to age poorly, but yes, we think the Cardinals have the clearest path of any team to acquiring Soto. They've won out on Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado in recent seasons, and have taken swings on Francisco Lindor, among others, demonstrating that they have the appetite and willingness to make a blockbuster addition. The Giants have little in the way of meaningful long-term commitments, and Soto would serve as a spiritual successor to Buster Posey as the face of the franchise. Andrew Friedman has shown in the past he's willing to pony up for elite players, and Soto fits in that respect. The interesting wrinkle with the Yankees is that they have yet to resolve the Aaron Judge situation. Depending on how the Nationals evaluate some of the Dodgers' top youngsters -- Bobby Miller, Diego Cartaya, Andy Pages, and so on -- Los Angeles would probably have to follow the blueprint we laid out in the Giants section by taking on a bad contract in addition to Soto. They did something similar when they obtained Mookie Betts from Boston, so that might not be a big deal to Friedman and company. A question that will be asked of the Nationals is whether or not they're willing to trade Soto within the division. (You can argue that Soto is on another level, but those players aren't exactly chopped liver.) The Blue Jays, meanwhile, are led by former Guardians executives who have shown a willingness recently to hand out big contracts, but who presumably have eyes on extending their own collection of young stars, including Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. Would they have enough money to do both, or the detachment to opt for Soto over them? We are legally obligated to include the Yankees near the top of these lists because of their financial might and their history of taking advantage of these kinds of situations. We like the idea, but that kind of maneuvering almost never happens anymore, and we're skeptical that it'll start again with a deal of this expected magnitude. Of all the tiers so far, this is the first where we feel like a team from here could make an actual play -- we're getting warmer, in other words. The Astros and Red Sox are both generally managed by former Rays execs who have either traded or waved farewell to the likes of Mookie Betts, George Springer, and Carlos Correa in recent seasons in lieu of handing out massive extensions. It would seem unlikely that such a blockbuster could come together so quickly, but then, this is baseball and stranger things have happened.

All-Star outfielder Juan Soto reportedly rejected a $440 million offer from the Washington Nationals, who will now entertain trade offers.

This season’s trade deadline is Aug. 2. Article content Article content

Washington offered Soto $440 million over 15 years. The offer exceeded Mike Trout's 12-year, $426.5 million contract for the most guaranteed money in the ...

The Nationals are only 30-62 this year. Soto is only hitting .247 this year, but has nearly a .900 OPS heading into the All-Star break. Beating Trout’s $37 million per year should be the expectation in any extension talks with Soto. With this report coming out, the Nationals now have the cover they need to trade him despite not offering him the money he’s worth. The next year, Soto helped the Nationals win the World Series, this time hitting 34 homers and again finishing with an on-base percentage north of .400. Soto finished with an absurd 1.185 OPS in the Covid-shortened season of 2020, and then had a .999 OPS last year in 151 games. Now Washington is placing him on the trade block after making what appears to be its best and final offer, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Soto is arguably the most decorated young slugger of his generation.

Juan Soto is on the open market. And while I still am learning about this beautiful game, it's hard not to think that the Toronto Blue Jays should be all in ...

For the better part of a decade, it has been my honor to help lead this fight and to shine a light on the unfair labor practices that have long plagued America’s pastime.” Soto immediately becomes the top player available, but the truth is the Nats don’t have to be in a rush to move him. This is a massive development ahead of what was to be a busy Aug. 2 trade deadline in the first place. And while I still am learning about this beautiful game, it’s hard not to think that the Toronto Blue Jays should be all in. He’s slashing .271/.332/.394 in 317 at-bats driving in 37 runners while hitting six homers. Espinal’s in the midst of a breakout season in the majors and has been one of the Jays’ better stories so far this year.

Cela a motivé les Nationals à mettre à disposition leur meilleur joueur. Ainsi, le Futures Game est devenu le centre d'échange pour les types de joueurs – l' ...

Parce que Soto a la batte gaucher et le flair pour exceller là-bas et – avantage social – fournit un certain levier dans les négociations avec Aaron Judge. Il est beaucoup plus facile de s’en tenir à une offre d’agent libre et de supporter potentiellement la sortie du juge si vous avez déjà Soto en place. Bien que la chasse aux étoiles avec beaucoup d’argent ait terriblement fonctionné pour Moreno’s Angels, ses ex-employés ont déclaré qu’il n’échangerait pas contre des joueurs qui n’ont pas (à son avis) aidé l’équipe immédiatement. Ainsi, même une nouvelle propriété de Nationals (ils sont à vendre) comprendrait que chaque grand club du marché va soumissionner, et le premier contrat d’un demi-milliard de dollars (si Ohtani n’y arrive pas en premier) sera en jeu. Mais de manière vitale, vous auriez les deux en 2022 pour remporter un premier titre des Yankees depuis 2009 – Judge frappant devant Soto ou vice versa. Mais la nouvelle a éclaté plus tôt dans la journée – rapportée pour la première fois par Ken Rosenthal de The Athletic et confirmée par Jon Heyman de The Post – que Soto avait rejeté une proposition de 440 millions de dollars sur 15 ans. Il a réussi 19 circuits et 25 buts sur balles de plus (79) que de retraits au bâton (54) samedi.

Washington Nationals star outfielder Juan Soto expressed irritation Saturday hours after a report he turned down a record contract with the rebuilding club.

I mean, at the end of the day, you’re going to get what you deserve, we all know that. “He tells me all the time that he loves the game of baseball and that’s what he plays for,” Martinez said. At the end of the day, we just have to go through it, because as they told me, we all have to go through those moments to win a championship. “I get the taste of winning, so I want to win every year,” Soto said. Soto is the most high-profile player left on a team that embarked on a rebuild last year. “I don’t want to keep losing.

Washington just reportedly offered Juan Soto $440 million. Here's how the Nats could use some of that money to improve the team while they have him.

But there is a way for them to get as much value as possible from him while he’s still on the team. The bottom line is the Nationals have the modern day Ted Williams on their roster for two more seasons after this one. So, after signing a top-tier shortstop, either Swanson for $24 million per year (a little above market value, just for this exercise) or Turner for between $30–$32 million per year, the Nationals have $15–$23 million left before that first threshold. It feels unlikely that the Nationals would decide to give him close to $200 million after trading him last year because they thought they couldn’t afford to re-sign him. Also, with some more roster maneuvering, they could add another major-league bat or two to this lineup and stay under the first tax threshold. It would be reasonable for a team to sign him for $25 million per year—which is what Marcus Semien is earning to play second base with the Rangers—because he has a better track record than Swanson. For the sake of this exercise, let’s say he gets $19 million next year—which is what Aaron Judge is making this season in the final year of his arbitration eligibility—and $23 million in ’24. This year, they are paying roughly $17 million to the rest of their arbitration eligible players; let’s assume that figure next year is $20 million. He’ll only opt out of his deal if he thinks he can make more than the $35.1 million per year he’s getting with Minnesota. It feels like Swanson, who is 28 right now, will re-sign with Atlanta, but then again, that’s what we thought about Freddie Freeman. According to Spotrac, Swanson’s market value is six years at an average annual value of $22.1 million. Let’s say they have to pay all of their pre-arb guys a total of $13 million, up about $2 million from this season. Their tools are limited, but they do have one solid resource they can use to improve their roster for 2023 and ’24: money. Add in that $19 million for Soto and we’re at $98 million.

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals were major sellers at last year's Trade Deadline, overhauling their veteran roster to acquire young prospects and build around ...

So for me, I think I’m going through mine and I’m just going to keep positive and keep seeing things forward.” But for me, letting him understand that we're here for you, I'll always be there for him and we'll help him go out there and just let him play the game." I mean, at the end of the day, we’ve just got to go through it, because as they [teammates] told me, we’ve all got to go through those moments to win a championship. It feels a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but I will be fine.” On the year, he’s batting .247 with 19 home runs and 42 RBIs to go along with an MLB-leading 79 walks. “I’m going to try to enjoy as much as I can. He already has two Silver Sluggers to his name along with the 2020 batting title and a ‘19 World Series championship. While it is not uncommon for star players to be linked in this level of buzz, Soto is experiencing it at 23 years old. Saturday’s news could be landscape-changing in regard to next month’s Trade Deadline. Soto was the runner-up in last season’s NL MVP race. And for me, I hope it's here because I love the kid. When I get to know the city more, it feels great. WASHINGTON -- The Nationals were major sellers at last year’s Trade Deadline, overhauling their veteran roster to acquire young prospects and build around Juan Soto for the future.

Le joueur de champ extérieur des Nationals de Washington vient tout juste de refuser un contrat de 440 millions de dollars! Cette offre aurait fait de lui le ...

A handful of The Athletic's writers hypothesize what the likely price would be for their team to acquire the superstar outfielder.

And it might be difficult for the Blue Jays to move off of the guys they’ve been building around to this point. That still might not be enough, and means the Dodgers might have to part with another arm they really like, be it someone like Pepiot (who debuted this May and has a ready-made arsenal but not ready-made command) or Gavin Stone, who has lit up the minors this year, and maybe they can get something done. Acquiring Soto would require parting with at least one starting outfielder in Tyler O’Neill, Harrison Bader or Dylan Carlson, and you’d bet the Nationals would demand top prospect Jordan Walker be a part of the deal. The Cubs probably don’t have a deal that makes sense, but this is the type of player they need to put a jolt in this franchise. Although New York’s farm system doesn’t rank well overall, it has plenty of high-end talent that Washington could choose from, much of it nearing major-league readiness; a new owner wouldn’t have to wait years to see the rewards of a Soto trade. Assuming he consents to a trade, this move would also get Rendon back to Washington, where he thrived and won a World Series. They’d have to take on a significant portion of Rendon’s contract, but this would free up some space financially for the Angels to keep building through free agency. The Dodgers’ haul will likely have to start with one, or both, of Diego Cartaya and Miller, much as their packaging of their top pitching and catching prospect was what it took to pry Trea Turner and Max Scherzer from the Nationals last summer. Soto is exactly the player a team should acquire and then extend for an exorbitant amount of money, if you’re in a big-market that needs a superstar to build around. Such a move would make sense from a value standpoint, but would strip the Sox of an up the middle talent and frontline starter that they cannot currently replace, other than with a host of follow-up deals from the huge glut of corner bats they would end up with. Is this the perfect time for Jed Hoyer to be aggressive and buy? For months, rival executives have pondered the price of a deal for Soto. The discussions operated mostly as a thought exercise, to prepare for a situation like this. When the Marlins decided to trade Cabrera that winter, the balance of the sport shifted.

As tough as it will be to watch Soto leave, the only worse scenario for D.C. is getting absolutely nothing out of it.

As tough as it will be to watch Juan Soto leave, the only worse scenario for D.C. is getting absolutely nothing out of it. Keeping Soto — so long as he stays healthy — is going to get harder, not easier, no matter what the Nationals do on the field. Spend around him this winter, when a new owner may or may not be in place, and hope that a taste of fleeting success — any success — will magically make him change his tune and forgo free agency? And you can make a case that as difficult as it may be for a segment of the Nats fan base to lose another superstar, perhaps there should be a line somewhere. But the closer you inch to freedom, the stronger the light gets and the easier it becomes to gamble on your own health and career and test the free market. That saddling any new ownership with a deal that could require a half-billion-dollar commitment may not be the best long-term strategy to get back to winning. And while trading Josh Bell midseason is a no-brainer and perhaps Nelson Cruz and a reliever or two, the return isn’t going to significantly speed up the organization’s rebuild. The return for Soto, whether it’s this summer or this winter, would be organization-changing. Washington is 30-63, with the fewest wins and a minus-153 run differential entering Sunday that’s the worst in baseball. And that Bryce Harper, who has the same agent as Soto in Scott Boras, signed a deal for more than $100 million less for 13 free-agent years in Philadelphia heading into the 2019 season. Barring an ownership change in D.C. that brings a new regime as willing as the Mets’ Steve Cohen to cackle at each and every new level of luxury tax imposed, the Nationals aren’t paying that kind of money to Soto. Few franchises can without being crippled elsewhere. This isn’t a case of the sides being close.

Diego Cartaya, 20, is a potential cornerstone, but the Dodgers should trade him if it helps them acquire Juan Soto, 23, from the Washington Nationals.

In that case, the Dodgers will have to do something they don’t want to do. He’s found a way to get better without the game reps that are normally required for that type of advancement.” When he steps in the clubhouse, there’s a presence in the clubhouse.” Barbary was the organization’s former catching coordinator and has a son who played with Cartaya. They will have to trade Diego Cartaya. Making Soto a long-term cornerstone would presumably cost the Dodgers, or any other team, more than $500 million. They will still have Soto for three pennant races. Cartaya could be a franchise player. He broke into the major leagues at 19 and produced immediately. Maybe the Nationals think they have found a long-term solution in Keibert Ruiz, the last catching prospect the Dodgers sent them, and won’t ask for Cartaya to be part of any Soto deal. He was a World Series champion in his second year and a batting champion in his third. “When he steps in the batter’s box, there’s a presence in the box,” said John Shoemaker, who managed Cartaya earlier this season in class-A Rancho Cucamonga. “When he goes behind the plate as a catcher, there’s a presence behind the plate.

The 23-year-old All-Star outfielder reportedly rejected a 15-year, $440 million offer from the Nationals, which would have made him the highest-paid player in ...

Through 89 games, he’s hitting .247/.405/.490 with 19 homers and an .895 OPS, proving to be one of the few highlights for a Nationals team that is 30–62 heading into the All-Star break. According to Rosenthal, the offer did not include any deferred money and would’ve likely kept the young superstar in the nation’s capital for the rest of his career. The 23-year-old All-Star outfielder reportedly rejected a 15-year, $440 million offer from the Nationals, which would have made him the highest-paid player in MLB history.

The chances of the Blue Jays landing superstar Juan Soto in a trade are probably slim, but it would be foolish to not at least make an offer.

As for mortgaging the future with guys like Moreno, Martinez, Tiedeman, and more, Soto might be the extremely rare player that you’d do something like that for. I realize this isn’t the NBA, but the common theme is that it requires a boatload of assets to acquire stars. To give you a comparison, Alek Manoah is the highest rated Blue Jay with a 112.1 value, and the right-hander is one of the top young pitchers in the game. Could the Blue Jays be serious contenders for a player of this calibre? He’ll be due another massive raise for 2023, and the same the following year, but I’m sure any team acquiring him will be hoping to lock him up for the long-term. A year ago it was borderline laughable to think that the Nationals would ever trade the 23 year old, but with their latest failed attempt to sign him an extension (which was a reported 15-year, 440 million dollar offer), Washington’s front office might be getting more serious about moving on.

On peut notamment penser à Luis Castillo, dont le nom circule maintenant à Houston. Eux, s'ils veulent s'améliorer drastiquement sur le monticule, ce sera ...

Maintenant, il reste à savoir quelle équipe ira le chercher. Le marché des transactions sera assez intéressant à suivre au cours des deux prochaines semaines. Parce que le club est agressif, parce que le club a besoin d'un voltigeur, parce que le club a de l'argent, parce que le club a de bons espoirs et parce que le club aimerait faire un duo dynamique avec Fernando Tatis Jr. et Juan Soto, il faut compter les Padres parmi les favoris dans le dossier. Et s'il refuse, il sera échangé. Que ce soit d'ici deux semaines (ce qui me semble très rapide) ou que ce soit plus tard, Mike Rizzo a le luxe d'attendre puisque son joueur est sous le contrôle de l'équipe jusqu'à la fin de la saison 2024. Chez les joueurs de position, le nom qui circule le plus depuis une semaine, c'est celui d'Andrew Benintendi. Son statut vaccinal n'aide pas sa valeur, mais un club comme San Diego pourrait aller le chercher parce que les Padres ne sont pas dans l'Américaine des Blue Jays.

All that said, the Nats have made consistent efforts to come to a contract extension with Soto's agent Scott Boras, with no success. According to Rosenthal, the ...

The Nationals have to be wondering if Soto’s uncertain future is a tenable situation. For the Nationals to deal him, they have to really believe they have no chance of signing him to a long-term contract extension. If they can’t find the right deal, however, they need to be willing to wait. With their latest offer rejected, the Nats will now spend the next couple of weeks listening to trade offers for Soto ahead of the August 2nd trade deadline. The deal would have carried Soto through to his 38th birthday, effectively locking him in as a National for the entirety of his career. The Nationals have long held the position that they would not be open to trading Soto, their 23-year-old superstar, who is already firmly listed among the best hitters in baseball.
