Juan Soto, one of the best hitters in all of baseball, is reportedly available for trade, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
The 23-year-old All-Star outfielder reportedly rejected a 15-year, $440 million offer from the Nationals, which would have made him the highest-paid player in MLB history. Washington now plans to listen to trade offers involving Soto ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
Soto and the Nationals have gone back and forth in recent months over a contract extension, with the latest $440 million extension being the third such offer made by the organization.
