Heading into the offseason, one insider says the Washington Nationals should pursue a reunion with their past superstar.
Juan Soto will be manning right field at Nationals Park throughout the three-game slate as they welcomed in theIt's only the third time he's been back in the nation's capital since the organization decided to trade away the mega talent in 2022 when they couldn't come to an agreement on a contract extension that would have kept him with the team who signed him as an international free agent in 2015.The Nationals are in a different place now.
Many of their star prospects, some of whom were acquired in the Soto deal, are impact players at the Major League level, which brings into question if they should even go after their former star."Open the vault for one Juan Soto," he writes when discussing how they should allocate their resources. "This shouldn't be a fantasy. It should be a plan. Soto won a World Series here once. He could and should be a piece of the next team that brings home a trophy.
"There's no team in baseball that wouldn't benefit from Soto's immense presence. The Nationals are among them, and should count themselves as such. The most excruciating step in this years-long rebuild was trading Soto away to San Diego. It would be absolutely delicious to fold him into the group that was partially assembled through that deal ... Juan Soto might seem like a moonshot. He shouldn't have to be," Svrluga adds.
Then factor in that Soto was a major part of this franchise winning its first ever World Series title, and it's hard not to dream about seeing the superstar manning right field in Nationals Park for years to come.
