The Washington Nationals are listening to offers for Juan Soto, and it appears the club wants to shed the contract of another player in any potential trade that includes the star right fielder.
In exchange for Soto, the Nats want "multiple major leaguers and top prospects" and to "offload" the contract of pitcher Patrick Corbin, according to The Athletic's Jim Bowden.
Corbin and the Nationals agreed to a six-year, $140 million deal in December 2018. He will not become a free agent until after the 2024 season, and his salary will reach $35.4 million in 2024, per Spotrac.
