Nationals’ reported asking price for Juan Soto is unsurprisingly high

Nationals’ reported asking price for Juan Soto is unsurprisingly high

The Washington Nationals really might be trading Juan Soto, but it reportedly is not going to be cheap. Multiple MLB teams have reportedly told The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal that the Nationals are asking for four or five “youngsters,” basically prospects or big leaguers with several years of team control left, in negotiations for Soto. The Nationals have apparently signaled the price is non-negotiable, hence teams will have to choose to meet that price by the Aug. 2 trade deadline or try their… Source link

Washington Nationals didn’t charter flight for Juan Soto

The Juan Soto saga took another weird turn Monday night. The current-but-possibly-on-the-trade-block outfielder for the Washington Nationals arrived less than 24 hours before the Home Run Derby after Soto flew commercially to Los Angeles following the team’s series against the Atlanta Braves in D.C. That drew the ire of Soto’s agent, Scott Boras, who pointed out how unfair it was that players from the Braves were chartered to All-Star Weekend but the Nationals couldn’t do the same for Soto.

Nationals fall victim to bizarre ‘fourth out’ rule

Nationals fall victim to bizarre ‘fourth out’ rule

There are some weird quirks baked into MLB’s lengthy rulebook, and the Washington Nationals ran into a particularly unsavory morsel on Wednesday. In the fifth inning, the Nationals were in trouble. The Pittsburgh Pirates had runners on second and third with one out and the score tied 3-3. Ke’Bryan Hayes, one of three Pirates in the lineup with a batting average above .250, was facing Steve Cishek. Then the Nationals got lucky. Hayes hit a low line drive that was caught by Nationals first… Source link

Nationals reportedly have no new COVID-19 positives

The Washington Nationals inched closer Saturday to finally opening the regular season. The team reportedly experienced no new positive COVID-19 results in their latest batch of tests, according to Britt Ghiroli and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The Nationals have yet to open the 2021 MLB season after a positive COVID-19 test prior to the team’s opening game. As a result, MLB postponed the team’s opener against the New York Mets. There was hope the Nationals could have returned to play… Source link
