With five seasons under his belt, one World Series won in 2019, two presences in the Game of stars and another couple of appearances in the first team All-MLBeverything seems to indicate that the Dominican John Sotodoes not want to continue his career in Washington Nationals.
after getting $17 million dollars in salary arbitration for the 2022 season of Major League Baseball (MLB)the reality is that the outfielder has been rejecting offers from the capital franchise to extend his contract, and even make history.
Earlier this year, Juan Soto said no to the Nationals’ first offer of a 13-year contract and a salary of $350 millionand taking into account that he has until next August 2 for the trade deadline, the team offered him the largest contract in MLB history.
Soto rejects multi-million dollar offer from Nationals
As reported by the insider Ken Rosenthalof the portal The Athleticthe institution submitted a contract proposal for $440 million dollars salary for the next 15 seasons, which would exceed $429 million what Los Angeles Angels is paying to Mike Trout.
The intention of Soto and his agent, the controversial Scott Borasis very clear about it, they want a transfer at all costs, and they are willing to reject any financial offer in order to get out of the Nationals and try their luck at another MLB team. Sure, unless they offer you $500 million.
