‘Loyalty One Way Is Stupid’- Juan Soto Channels Inner Derek Jeter Amidst Nasty Break-Up With Washington Nationals In Now Deleted Tweet

Juan Soto has become a topic of debate in Major League Baseball. For those wondering, it is not about him winning the Home Run Derby or his performance in the current season. At 22, Soto is one of the most skilled players in MLB. And given his enormous talent, his future already looks glorious.

Currently, a Washington Nationals player, Soto is having a hard time with his current franchise. Earlier, before the All-Star Game, the Nationals had reportedly offered a long-term contract to their young gun. But Soto, along with his agent, Scott Boras, refused to sign it. And the Nationals did not like the attitude of their player. They did not even provide a charter plane to Soto to take part in the Home Run Derby.

Now, despite being a Nationals player, Soto is not in a happy state. He even desired his feelings on Twitter through a Derek Jeter quote. But after a few minutes, the 2022 Home Run Derby champ deleted the tweet.

Will Juan Soto sign an extension with the Washington Nationals?

Whether Juan Soto signs the extension, he will remain a National till the 2025 MLB season. Notably, he still has three years left in his current contract. But the Nationals are not willing to let go of a generational player. And that is why they want Soto to sign an extension.

But now, after the infamous charter plane incident, Soto might not sign the extension with the Nationals. Per New York Post, he quoted Derek Jeter’s tweet, which says, “Loyalty one way is stupidity.” It indicates his current state of mind. However, he also deleted the tweet after a while.

Even B/R Walk-Off shared a snap of the same on Twitter.

Talking about the contract, the Nationals offered Soto a $440 million contract for 15 years. But as earlier mentioned, the Dominican Republican star rejected the proposal. And this is not the first time Soto has rejected an extension.
