The Nats did put out a big overall number but disregarded one other number Soto’s camp thought was important.
’s $43.3 million salary as a comp. In response, the Nats made it clear in discussions they thought Scherzer’s three-year deal was irrelevant.
Rizzo was only making a point. Of course, with Soto being 23, he and Boras weren’t about to take a relatively short-term deal for that rare superstar who will be free at age 25/26. With Juan Soto unable to reach a deal with Washington, his team is opening up for business to place the superstar on the trade market.Scott Boras tried to use Mets pitcher Max Scherzer as a comparison when trying to break a deal for Juan Soto.Boras also has invoked Alex Rodriguez as the last superstar due to be a free agent at age 25/26, and how as a free agent A-Rod received 40 percent more than the highest previous salary, which at the time was $25.
While the deal, on its surface, seems interesting, and represents a record, one rival executive agrees with Boras, whose camp sees this as an attempt by the Nats to raise their franchise value at a time the team is for sale by locking up their biggest asset. Folks close to that situation do expect the team to be sold in coming months, and for $2 billion-plus, maybe even $3 billion.
