News about Luke Voit

Juan Soto has signed a new one-year deal, putting the San Diego Padres slugger up for a big new contract after the 2024 Major League season. On Friday, the 24-year-old outfielder agreed to a $23 million contract with the Padres, earning himself a $6 million raise from last season as San Diego avoids arbitration with one of the city's most celebrated sluggers. Despite Friday's deal, Soto will not be eligible for free agency until 2024, when he is forecast to command one of the largest contracts in baseball history. For Washington and San Diego, who acquired the 2020 NL batting champion from the Nationals in a trade on August 2, Soto hit.242 with 27 home runs, 62 RBIs, and a major league-leading 135 walks. Despite coming cheap, the Padres' top prospects, including C. J. Abrams, MacKenzie Gore, Robert Hassell, James Wood, Jarlin Susana, and veteran slugger Luke Voit, did not arrive cheaply, including veteran slugger Luke Voit.
