The cornerstone of a rebuilding in Washington is John Soto. Although the Dominican already rejected an offer during the offseason, will still hear offers from the Nationals.
In an interview for Washington Post, the 23-year-old outfielder reported that he and his agent, Scott Boras, are willing to listen the economic proposals of the capital organization.
“Whenever they want to talk, they can talk to Scott. They have his number, they can call every day. They can trade every day if they want and I have no problem with that. I’ll be playing, he’ll let me know when they talk. That is all”.
Soto’s words come hours after it was reported that the star outfielder turned down a second proposal. Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post reported that the Dominican did not take a contract that exceeded the 350 million dollars that the Nationals proposed prior to the start of the season.
