Before Juan Soto bounced from San Diego Padres New York Yankees and finally landed with New York Mets at a record contract of $ 765 million in this season, won the World series with Washington National.
In the second year in the league, Soto helped Nat Won his first 2019 championship and stayed with the club until the middle of the season 2022. Before he traded in Padres in August 2022, Soto rejected 15-year-old, $ 440 million in contracts earlier that season.
There were many speculations why he did not accept that contract, which was more lucrative than the offers signed by colleagues like Ronald Acuna Jr. (eight years, $ 100 million) and Fernando Tatis Jr. (14 years, $ 340 million). During the performance at the Abriondo Sports Podcast, Soto discovered the reason.

“The Nacional gave me three offers: first, a offer similar to Ronald Acuña Jr.’s contract; then another offer is similar to the Fernando Tatis Jr. contract, and then a $ 440 million offer came,” ” Soto said (by MLB Insider Hector Gomez).
“If they were signed by Turner, Rendon and Harper, I would have accepted an offer of even lower than $ 440 million.”
As nationals lost Juan Soto and other basic players
National people could have one of the most terrible exhibitions in the beissa with Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto. However, they let it fall apart.
As Soto said, he wanted a guarantee of a long-term competitive team-not that citizens could not guarantee.
Harper went just before the World Series 2019 season, signing a 13-year-old $ 330 million contract with Philadelphia Phillies.
The next key player who stepped down was Rendon, who, after the great season of 2019, signed a seven -year contract of $ 245 million after running in the championship.
Finally, Turner became the last straw when he was transferred to Los Angeles Dodgers in July 2021, before he eventually signed a 11-year contract with Phillies in December 2022.
With all three main players, Soto followed the suit, leaving the Padres trade in August 2022.
