Juan Soto at center stage again in his return to Dodger Stadium as trade rumors swirl
For Soto, crazy that he could be traded by the Washington Nationals before the Aug. 2 deadline.seem to be one of his potential — and maybe most likely — landing spots., “but I’m a Dodger, and hopefully he’s a Dodger as well.”the Nationals’ 4-1 win Monday nightAs the Nationals’ lineup was read over the public address system before the game, Soto’s name was met with a round of applause.
Soto, who went two for four with a walk and a key two-run triple to help the Nationals end the Dodgers’ eight-game winning streak, hasn’t enjoyed much else about the last week since news surfaced that he had rejected a 14-year, $440-million contract extension from the Nationals and thus would be made available for a possible trade.
“It’s been crazy, things that I never think were going to happen to me,” Soto said Monday, answering questions again in the visiting clubhouse at Dodger Stadium. “First time this happens to me, so it’s been tough.” “I never think about that because I never see myself in any of that,” Soto said. “I’ve always been loyal to the Nationals. I’ve always been there for them. As you see, everywhere I’m going they try to pull me out of my team. But I just keep staying in touch with the Nationals because that’s where I am right now and that’s where I’m going to be loyal until they don’t want me anymore here.”
“I think I learned last year a little bit, if there’s a good player available, the Dodgers are gonna be considered a spot, for numerous reasons,” Turner said. “It’s just crazy … the talent of players all here.”
