Since Juan Soto reportedly turned down the Nationals’ 15-year, $440 million contract extension, there has been much speculation about where the 23-year-old phenom might be traded.
NJ Advance Media spoke with players at the All-Star festivities in Los Angeles on Monday and asked MLB’s best where the Dominican should land. Yankees ace Gerrit Cole weighed in—and said he would be unhappy if Soto ended up with New York’s archrival.
“You know where I really don’t want him going?” Cole said. “I don’t want him going up to Boston.”
