Juan Soto was a content child two years ago, viewing baseball as a game, and he had big dreams of playing for the Washington Nationals for the rest of his life. But in July 2022, when he and agent
Scott Boras declined a rumored
$440 million, 15-year agreement, the organization moved their star right fielder to the
San Diego Padres at the deadline, for the best hitter this side of
Ted Williams. General manager
Mike Rizzo had informed
Juan Soto that the organization would try to acquire something for him instead of letting him go in free agency if they couldn’t agree. However, Juan Soto never truly thought that would occur. Leaving crushed his heart.
