Before the start of MLB’s lockout, Juan Soto declined a 13-year, $350 million contract extension offer from the Nationals, ESPN Deportes’ Enrique Rojas reports.
According to Rojas, the deal would have begun in the 2022 season and run through Soto’s age 36 season in 2034. Additionally, the deal doesn’t include any deferred money, which is something the Nationals have done in the past with big contracts. The 23-year-old would’ve made about $27 million dollars a year.
The Angels’ Mike Trout currently owns the biggest deal in baseball, having signed a 12-year, $426 million deal in 2019.
