This is so f****d lol what ownership does that The Nationals are a joke - Washington Nationals owners under fire for asking Atlanta Braves to take Juan Soto and Davey Martinez on their team plane

Juan Soto at the 92nd MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard The asked division rival for a strange favor, to fly and Davey Martinez home from Los Angeles. The Nationals and Braves are playing a series against each other, so they were all traveling to the same place. The strangeness of the situation comes from the Nationals being seemingly unwilling to fly their All-Stars back themselves. The Atlanta Braves declined the request, stating their plane was full. This story, however, has an added wrinkle. Soto recently turned down a contract offer from the Washington Nationals and is on the trade block. This was first reported by Jon Heyman via Twitter. The Nats asked the Braves if they’d let Soto/Davey Martinez on their team plane and were told it was full (they took staff and team media). While the Astros took Paul Blackburn, the Braves were smart avoid any suggestion of impropriety via extra time with an available superstar.The Nats asked the Braves if they’d let Soto/Davey Martinez on their team plane and were told it was full (they took staff and team media). While the Astros took Paul Blackburn, the Braves were smart avoid any suggestion of impropriety via extra time with an available superstar. While the Braves made the wise decision to avoid any risk of tampering, fans were baffled by the Washington Nationals making the request. Jesus this is so fucked lol what ownership does that Jesus this is so fucked lol what ownership does that If ownership does not go the extra mile for the players, how can the franchise ask players to go the extra mile for ownership? Juan Soto's contractual situation likely played a role in this, and fans believe this reflects very poorly on the Nationals. The Nationals are a joke The Nationals are a joke Juan Soto will most likely be playing for a new franchise in just a few weeks. Actions like these certainly won't hinder the departure. The Nationals certainly did not expect this kind of reaction. But they could have predicted it, since the Oakland Athletics had a very similar lead-up to the All-Star Game.
