WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Juan Soto dropped a sound bite Monday afternoon at Washington Nationals spring training that would make the cherry blossoms burst open early.
“I always see my future here … I never think about leaving or anything like that.”
Cue the band. Close off Pennsylvania Avenue. It’s time for the parade.
Except the problem is, apparently that Soto never really lets a negative thought enter his brain. He couldn’t conceive of playing anywhere else except Washington. This is where he won a batting title and two Silver Slugger Awards.
