Juan Soto Flew Commercial to 2022 MLB ASG After Declining Nats' Contract, Agent Says

Scott Boras told reporters at a press conference Monday that Juan Soto had to fly to Los Angeles for the Home Run Derby and All-Star game.

The Atlanta Braves and Juan Soto played a game. The Braves arrived five hours earlier than Juan. Are you aware of why? They decided to charter a plane. He said that Juan Soto had to fly on a commercial flight and wait in an airport for two hours and then have to compete in the HomeRun Derby. That is something that Major League Baseball did not take care of, and that is something that the Washington Nationals did not take care of.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Washington Nationals plan to entertain trade offers for him after he turned down a 15-year, $440 million offer.

He won the Derby even though he is the superstar he is.

One of the game's most promising young talents is hitting.250 with 20 homers and 43 runs scored in 91 games this season. He was surprised when the trade rumors about him surfaced.

He told reporters that a couple weeks ago, they said they wouldn't trade him. It doesn't feel right. You're not sure what to trust. At the end of the day, I have no control over what they decide.

If he is traded, his new team will make sure he doesn't have to fly to join them.
