The day Nationals fans have dreaded for weeks is finally here. Juan Soto is no longer a Washington National.
The Nationals agreed to trade the 23-year-old All-Star to the San Diego Padres before Tuesday night’s 6 PM trade deadline. The Nats also traded Josh Bell, arguably the second-most productive Nats player this year behind Soto.
Trade offers heated up for Soto after he declined a 15-year, $440 million extension offer from the Nationals last month. Soto will have two years left on his current contract with the Padres before becoming a free agent in 2025. Most importantly, he helped lead the Nationals to their first World Series Championship in 2019, with an unforgettable go-ahead home run off of Astros ace Justin Verlander in Houston. The Nationals were facing elimination—down 3 games to 2 at that point—and Soto’s blast helped the Nationals tie up the World Series and force a game 7. The Nats went on to win game 7.
