Alex Avila is just the latest signing in the nation’s capital to talk about his excitement over joining a team that features young starts Juan Soto and Trea Turner.
In his Zoom call with reporters once the veteran catcher’s one-year deal with the Nationals was announced, he said he was looking forward to watching the 22-year-old outfielder and 27-year-old shortstop.
“It’s obviously — with what Soto’s done over his short time so far in the big leagues, it’s pretty incredible, spectacular really, so he’s a lot of fun to watch,” Avila explained.
“I’m looking forward to getting to see Trea Turner play every day.
