MLB Rumors: Juan Soto Rejects Nationals' $440M Contract; Will Be Discussed in Trades

The Washington Nationals are open to trading right fielder Juan Soto after he turned down a huge contract extension.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Soto rejected a 15-year, $440 million deal with the Nats for the third time.

According to Rosenthal, the contract would have made Soto the highest-paid player in baseball history in terms of total money, and he would have been the 20th highest-paid player on an annual basis.

Rosenthal reported that the Nationals plan to entertain trade offers for him before the August trade deadline.

More information and analysis will be provided soon.
