The Nationals are telling teams they are now willing to trade Juan Soto after he rejected a 15-year, $440 million contract extension.
It also could be a public ploy by the Nats ownership to reflect how valuable Soto is to the franchise, increasing the sales price to prospective owners.
It was an offer, one person said, that Soto never seriously considered accepting, and that the Nats knew he’d reject it when it was made. The Nats believe the Scherzer AAV is irrelevant considering it’s only a three-year deal. They point out that it would still pay Soto $400 million over the last 13 years when he would become eligible for free agency, which is $70 million more than Bryce Harper received from the Phillies three years ago on his 13-year, $330 million contract. Harper was a six-time All-Star, former MVP and Rookie of the Year winner, when he signed his deal.
