This month, Juan Soto declined a 15-year $440 million from the Washington Nationals. Do you think that he made the right decisions?
Juan Soto, born October 23, 1998, is a professional baseball player. He has an estimated net worth of a whopping $4 million. That is nearly the cost of 150 pounds (68 kilograms) of gold! At the age of 19, he started playing for the Washington Nationals. He was a major contributor to their first world series championship!
The Washington Nationals is a baseball team that competes in the world’s Major League Baseball (MLB) in the National League (NL). Soto is one of the best players on the team. The net cost of the Washington Nationals is nearly 2 billion! That is about 10% higher than in 2018.
The most recent offer is just at the start of July. $440 million was the largest contract in history by total value, with a $29.3 million annual salary.
“It feels really bad to see stuff going out like that because I’m a guy who keeps everything on my side. I keep everything quiet. I keep everything quiet and try to keep it just [to] me. But they just [made] the decision and do whatever they need to do,” Soto said.
“When things like that come out that are personal, it bothers people. I’m sure it bothers him a lot,” Manager Dave Martinez said after Soto rejected the contract. “But he’s got to understand that this is part of the game, right? We’ve all been through it at some point in time.”
Many people are wondering why Soto rejected the contract. Some people believe he can’t play for 15 more years. Others think he is getting underpaid. Maybe he doesn’t want to play for the organization anymore. Everything is a mystery!
