Juan Soto helped lead the Washington Nationals to a World Series championship in 2019. Now he will try to win a virtual title as he helps raise money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Canada.
Major League Baseball, the league's players association and Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the creation of the MLB The Show Players League in a press release, which will feature 30 players—one for each team—competing against one another online to generate awareness and money while the league is on hiatus during the coronavirus pandemic.
Boys & Girls Clubs will receive $175,000 from the venture, with $5,000 going to a local affiliate for each player and an additional $25,000 going to the local affiliate of the champion.
