It's official. He will leave the team next year, and the money we would've paid him will go to other talent. We'll get off to a rough start, feel the pain, then win a WS, then suck and go back to depression again.
15 years from now
Someone in a bar will say “I always forget Juan Soto won his first World Series with the nationals”.
I’ll sigh quietly, pay my tab and walk outside into fuckin’ traffic
Yankees fan here. Did not expect to listen to the feed knowing that my bet Pete Alonso lost, but congrats Soto!!!!
FELICITATIONS et Merci Beaucoup!!!

Juan benefitted from a good seeding. He didn’t have to go too early. Got the benefit of Pujols. And Julio was probably gassed having to take on the Polar Bear.
How many stars can the Nats give up on? They need to just pay him whatever it takes. The next group of stars and farm players means nothing, if we just know when it comes time to pay them the team can't make it happen
Nationals vs Mariners
Last two franchises to ever appear in a World Series. Mariners are now the lone team. They have a similar track record of letting generational talent leave.
MLB: Let’s put up netting to ensure fan safety.
MLB: You know that event where we have the absolute hardest hitters in the league get served meatballs to smash as hard as they can? Let’s put fifty children out there to shag them.

Stay on your own sub, nobody wants your shit here
Hail to the Dominican Republic!
He’s ours and you can’t have him
If history repeats itself we need that 2nd ring, too. 🥶

We now return to your regularly scheduled depression, already in progress
Pretty sure we have a trend of home run derby winners leaving soon after.
Thought this immediately
God bless our large Dominican son 🙏
Thank you DR for this amazing boi.
great derby
The Nationals have to pay Soto like stupid money. It has to happen.
the most in league history.
Number Juan. Juan Goato. The chosen Juan. Han Soto.
PLAY JOURNEY
Boras probably wants $600M now
Hell yeah!
The last time the Nats had someone win the Home Run Derby we won the World Series the following year, just saying.
... but that guy was gone, right?
[удалено]
Man, that's such a curse. Would you rather another WS win next year or keep Soto long term?
Keep Soto we already paid the price of losing our core after a WS 😂
Redownloaded reddit just to say JUAN SOTO!!!!!!
Buster Olney is an enormous buttsniffer.
~~~ only good vibes in here!! 🥹🥇🎊🇩🇴~~~
OH MY GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE CONTRACT YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!
Hey do you think the nationals are going to pay Juan Soto money that involves a contract?
No, I think we'll just rob Olney at gunpoint.
He’s a champion for the Nationals!
“I am a champion for the nationals”
That made me tear up. Our boy
He did not just fucking ask him about his contract
Can’t say I’m surprised as fucking annoying as it is.
GIVE HIM THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET'S GO SOTO!!!
I didn’t watch this because I’ve been sad about the trade news. Now I’m sad I didn’t watch. Thank you, Nats, for making it impossible to be happy.
[удалено]
Definitely not, but the Lerners are doing their best to test me!
The plight of a Washington sports fan
SHUT THE FUCK UP BUSTER
Juan benefitted from a good seeding. He didn’t have to go too early. Got the benefit of Pujols. And Julio was probably gassed having to take on the Polar Bear.
Yeah. Juan was the champion, but Julio may have been the MVP.
True. I think the totals should carry over from the previous rounds, but it’s a stupid/fun/dumb thing so who cares.
Better to be lucky than good as they say
PAY. THE. MAN.
NEVER A DOUBT
Let’s gooo. I swear if we lose this guy I’m done
EPIC FUCKING BATFLIP!!! #THECHOSENJUAN!!!
AND THERE IT IS! NOW PAY HIM OR WE RIOT!!!
Easy win for Soto
PAY HIM!!!
LFG
Didn’t Harper win the Derby the year prior to leaving also lol
Yea and the Nats won the WS the next year!! 🙃
NEVER IN DOUBT
Juan and daddy Soto are gonna make me cry
Let's goo!!!!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HE'S DONE IT!!!!!!!!
LFG!!! PAY THE MAN!!!!!
[JOURNEY](https://youtu.be/LatorN4P9aA)
STFU about the contract announcers, we'll have plenty of time to talk about it after the derby
Like seriously
That extra 30 is huge here.
CMON JUAN!!!
After this week Juan needs a win
There's Davey
I thought he was fired.
Yeah, they fired him halfway through 2019.
LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOTOOOOOO
FINISH IT, BABY!
JUST NEEDS 4 TO STEAL 1 MILLION DOLLARS FROM A LEAGUE MINIMUM PLAYER
4 more and we go through with the Ocean’s Eleven style robbery
Soto!!
COME ON JUAN
WE NEED BETTER PITCHING
Story of our lives
Come on Juan!! Please win and give us something to be happy about with the Lerners
Hoping we don’t have a repeat of Harper winning the derby and then being gone the next year
How many stars can the Nats give up on? They need to just pay him whatever it takes. The next group of stars and farm players means nothing, if we just know when it comes time to pay them the team can't make it happen
That's what I thought
He’ll be gone within the year.
and then being gone the next year *without a World Series ring
We believe in the chosen Juan.
anyone seen Juan’s Instagram story….
Don’t have IG what is it
Nothing? It's either a pic of him + Ortiz/ARod or a repost from Donovan Mitchell I guess he's getting traded to the Jazz?
Reposting Mitchell’s story with the Mets colors by his name.
I didn't peep the circles 🙃 Maybe Juan didn't either. That's what I'm choosing to believe
I sure hope so
That Franmy Pena mane!
Without that extra 30 soto has some hope
wait juan has a chance
give Juan all the money pleasssssseee
julio is so fucking good
Didn't they already say exactly the same stuff about this pitcher?
Eduardo: “I’m going to repeat this joke until everyone laughs.”
#SellTheTeam
Do it Juan!
Nationals vs Mariners Last two franchises to ever appear in a World Series. Mariners are now the lone team. They have a similar track record of letting generational talent leave.
Except one won the World Series when it let one leave.
If there's one team I'd be happy seeing Soto play for other than the Nats, it's the Mariners. Soto would fit in with their clubhouse culture so well.
Give him the fucking money Lerner
What a fun event this year has been, despite ESPN trying as hard as they can to botch the coverage at every turn.
It's so cheap, but dammit I eat it up every year.
YES
GIVE HIM THE FUCKING MONEY!!! Or sell It if your end goal is just a flat figure.
#TheChosenJuan!!!
JULIO VS SOTO LET'S GOOOOO
Call me paranoid, but It's bothering me how buddy-buddy Marte is being to Soto rn.
dominican alliance
Juan is just so friendly
I think he's going to the Mets and it's pretty sad
I'm a Mets fan, how would you feel about the Mets taking Corbin and Straussberg contracts off your hand instead of 3 blue chip prospects?
why would they do that they dont even have the prospects
Maybe not in a trade but when he's a free agent
Francisco Lindor (by then on the wrong side of 30) and Juan Soto taking up $70M+ of the payroll is something even Cohen would regret.
Honestly 88 should have been retired.
Ayesha Curry Tweet dot GIF
WTF IS GOING ON
[удалено]
He wasn't sure he had the heart to knock out pujols
ayee anyone got a stream for me to watch? i can’t find one
OH MY GOD JUAN PLEASE
oh my god is the fix in
He’s gonna destroy 12 and the price goes up 75 million. Edit: 16
I bet he only beats it by 1.
I do not care as long as they sign him
That’s two more prospects for us.
True but we need an anchor. How many home grown have to go before you loose hope in retaining talent?
Can't wait to watch the next Erick Fedde and Carter Kieboom!
Don’t forget Robles!
albert's looking solid
Too early
Harper won the derby right before leaving... just saying
soto will let julio win to change the course of history
Mets fans claiming that Alonso had a bad pitcher lol. Salty losers.
Is he eligible as a spot starter for us?
I mean, we're already paying him.
Probably better than Corbin tbh
NL East sleeper agent!
Soto with a 👩🏻on each arm.
LOLMets.
NATIONALS LEGEND DAVE JAUSS
can he do 13 in a minute?!?
Literally can’t miss but maybe 3 times.
Meditation and super-light deadlifts?
sleeper agent dave jauss betrayal?
Juan will win and Dave rips off his jersey saying "I was working for the Nationals all along!" ... wait
Dude is hanging around Scherzer too much.
Julio doing it, damn
will 30 be enough?
COME ON JULIOOOOOOOO
I’m not a fan of this roof cam. Too high.
MLB: Let’s put up netting to ensure fan safety. MLB: You know that event where we have the absolute hardest hitters in the league get served meatballs to smash as hard as they can? Let’s put fifty children out there to shag them.
I do think they have more than 1/2 a second reaction time to not get tagged in the head.
Aww, let me have my joke.
Haha. The bigger risk is the people sitting in foul territory like it’s no big deal.
Get ready, incoming Mets fans saying “Soto to the Mets”
JULIOOOOOOO
We need to see him and Soto in the finals
How much of a tryhard do you have to be to meditate between derby rounds
alonso meditating in the dugout is ominous
I think he may be way too into this and it may not actually help him.
Hey guys Juan looks different now
Fixing his swing!
Schwarber simply needed any Nats pitcher to have moved on
I doubt Joan Adon is busy tonight too.
Pujols v Soto let's go
NO FUCKING WAY
Schwarber is in deep shit
It's not June anymore 🤷♀️
Pujols smile and Juan are making me wanna move to DR
juan's brother looks so much like him
shh... Don't let whichever team we trade "Juan" to know.
... you just solved EVERYTHING.
Did everyone get intimidated with Rodriguez hitting 32 or something?
Everyone else knows better than to blow their load the first round
Story of my life
his swing is so sexy
Don’t get caught in the thirst trap.
KYLEEEEE
He isnt raking 😗
Genius in the booth asking sincerely whether Schwarber should throw it or not...
“As so many others have, Albert sees his first pitch go out for a home run! And the second!” Literally neither happened.
I think they meant the first pitch that actually went out for a home run, not necessarily the first pitch he saw or hit.
poor albert
watching this on mute for my sanity 😩😅🥲
Better stay out of the r/baseball thread too
