Juan Soto Deletes Derek Jeter Retweet About Loyalty amid Nationals Trade Rumors

Juan Soto has been open about his unhappiness at his contract talks with the Washington Nationals becoming public.

On Friday, the All-Star outfielder retweeted and deleted a Derek Jeter tweet about loyalty amid rumors he could be moved prior to the Aug. 2 trade deadline.

The Jeter quote was from Episode 2 of his ESPN documentary series The Captain.

Soto has become the primary focus of MLB leading up to the Aug. 2 trade deadline.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported on July 16 that Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo would listen to offers for the 23-year-old superstar after he rejected a 15-year, $440 million contract extension from the club.
