Mad max is crazy

That’s true but that can potentially be a disastrous contract because he can have a career ending injury and the team would be in the hook for all that money. When a team commits to you for that length, they can’t give you such an astronomical figure that could potentially leave your franchise in the dust for a decade. They’re a always risk and he’s guaranteed 15 years, no matter what

He knew his worth but didn't want to lose at that price. We welcome him in the Bronx as a NY Yankee

This dude can either see the future or he’s just that good. He did it he’s way. What the nats offered him he figured he can make that with diff teams didn’t have to be just that 1.. good for him. Hes a great dude teammate and player yeah going to Diff teams makes him Even more like by alot Of people.

I don't get it.Whats the joke?

@@TK0_23_makes the $440M number look too small. This was 3 years ago…he’s made $54M since and is projected to make at least $500M this off season. So that offer from the Nats was off by at least $100M total.

He will get 13 years 620 million from Yankees. He all about the money he knew he could get more only 24 at the time

He didn’t choose to go to the padres? He would’ve had to accept any trade so the nats could’ve sent him to the A’s or whoever is just as bad as the Nats but the padres just happened to offer the best prospects so really he got lucky. Soto said no for many reasons, he wants to be higher than the 16th highest paid player annually especially when he’s got better stats then almost any hitter above him on the list. He’s one of the most accomplished young players ever and he doesn’t want to be undersold and tied down to one team for His whole career. It was just all around not a good contract offer, there’s a reason why we don’t see 15 year deals all the time. In a few seasons Soto will probably end up settling for less total money, but more annual money with less years so in the short run & long run he will end up making more plus he will have more flexibility choosing where he wants to play throughout his career rather than hoping the nationals can rebuild a championship team.

He wanted a higher AAV which he deserved. many players have a higher annual salary than Soto would have had with that 15/440 deal

He won World Series there what else does he need to due

This didn’t age well. The Nats are a great organization with one of the brighter futures in the league. Soto is on a team going nowhere. Loyalty should always lie with your hometown team. Players come and go.

Scooter predicted the Padres would be better than the Nats. 😆 You can’t measure heart and the fight in the dog. Clearly he doesn’t think much of the team he supposedly roots for.

@@austincameron2687 Now looking back on that trade, I think we got the better deal, trading Juan for Hassell and Woods, Abrams and Gore since they are the future of our organization this doesn’t mean that I think we are the best team in the world. Yes we won a World Series 4 years ago but in the span of 4 years, we managed to get rid of every last good player from that year, Robles will never count he sucks, I also didn’t predict anything, I simply stated that the Padres are a much better team than we are. I will always root for the Nats with everything I have until the day I die so don’t question my loyalty to my hometown team.

@@jayman826 Agreed. Just ignore this tony dude he defintely looks like he's never played a sport in his entire life lol

I think he turned it down bc he wants to win and yes bc he bet on himself and thinks he can get more per year. I don’t think he will be able to get more total. The thing is, it is a bet bc honestly he hasn’t been playing great this year. So if he has 2 more seasons of batting .250 then he will probably get less

@@Flowerz__ He's worth more than 29M a year, that's a slap in the face. He's going to get close to or well north of 500M, and probably over 35M a year for a shorter deal. On top of the money the Nats offered, a 15 year committment to a team that is heading south quickly after a WS title seemed like a pretty bad bet for Soto.

​@@Flowerz__ He has an ops of .900, his worst season is still probably better than anyone on your favorite team.

@@Niptonian9551 hey man I’m js. If he keeps going for another 2 years of this I don’t think he’s getting much more than that offer.

@@Flowerz__ you are crazy man, he's on fire this year. Batting average is something people cared about 20 years ago, now it's all about walks and dingers. Juan Soto is the king of walks and he's going to the hall first ballot if he has 9 more years like this one.

Okay, it has been a long time since I have been offered that kind of money but I'm mature enough to see both sides now.
