Major League Baseball is preparing to announce the most lucrative and historic contract for a player and that will be Dominican Juan Soto; after the Washington Nationals offered him a contract extension that will exceed $400 million dollars and years of service.
According to journalist Héctor Gómez, the team from the US capital is willing to all to keep their flagship player to place him definitively as the image of the organization for the next decade.
The impressive thing about this is that the same Dominican outfielder rejected a few months ago an offer from the Washington Nationals for the same number of years, but for less than $350 million dollars. That is, they improved his offer to convince him once and for all.
If this agreement were to materialize, we would be talking about a record contract and the most lucrative for a baseball player. Simply put, he’ll be beating contracts from Mike Trout, Mookie Betts, Giancarlo Stanton and company.
Another point to highlight is that the Dominican is only years old and five seasons in the Majors. Enough time to demonstrate the great value he has in the market and for his organization, the Washington Nationals.
Soto has won a World Series ring, a batting title and two silver bats. In addition to having attended an All-Star Game. Without forgetting that his offensive numbers place him as one of the best bats in the League and in organized baseball.
In this way, Soto approaches the greatest pact for this sport and for the organization that lives in the capital of the United States and that surrenders to what they consider their franchise player and the next leader of the project .
