With MLB’s trade deadline less than three days away, star outfielder Juan Soto reflected on his time with the Nationals amid ongoing rumors concerning his future.
The 23-year-old’s name has been frequently involved in trade rumors over the past two weeks after he reportedly turned down a record 15-year, $440 million contract extension offer earlier this month. As Washington continues to field calls and offers for the two-time All-Star, Soto said Saturday it has been “weird” to be involved in such conversations.
“It’s been crazy,” he told The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. “It feels weird to be in all these talks. All these teams fighting for me, it‘s just been crazy.”
