WATCH: Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo on Juan Soto trade
Mar. 27, 2024 – 03:31 – Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo made the most difficult trade of his long MLB career on Tuesday, moving off 23-year-old outfield prodigy Juan Soto in a blockbuster trade with the San Diego Padres.
Washington’s decision to trade Soto so early in his career came after the star turned down a 15-year, $440 million extension offer from the organization.
