The inevitable is now set to turn nasty. Juan Soto and the Washington Nationals are headed for an ugly split.Soto has had quite the week so far. On Monday, he won the Home Run Derby and the day after, he was an All-Star Game winner. However, not everything was in harmony behind the scenes. Agent Scott Boras has now revealed that the Nationals refused to charter a private plane for Soto from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles."All I know here is that the Atlanta Braves and Juan Soto played a game (Sunday). The Atlanta Braves arrived here five hours earlier than Juan Soto did. You know why? Because their team chartered a plane. Juan Soto had to fly on a commercial flight...get here at 1:30 in the morning...compete in the Home Run Derby," Boras told Sports Illustrated.ESPN analyst Buster Olney tweeted his take on the Soto-Nationals saga, and it hasn’t gone down very well among fans.Buster Olney@Buster_ESPNThe Nationals should've chartered a private flight for Juan Soto to the HR Derby. In lieu of the Nats doing the right thing, Scott Boras also had the opportunity to arrange a flight for the client. In lieu of team or agent stepping up, Soto makes $17.1m; he could've done it, too.5217247The Nationals should've chartered a private flight for Juan Soto to the HR Derby.

He recently turned down the Nationals’ astronomical 15-year extension offer worth $440 million. Had Soto signed on the dotted line, he would have put pen to paper on the most lucrative contract in MLB history.Naturally, Soto’s decision not to renew has sparked plenty of rumors about his next possible destination. The Dominican sensation will enter free agency after 2024.MLB fans lambast Buster Olney’s take on Juan Soto-Washington Nationals sagaThis is bad PR for the Nationals in every way, shape, and form.The Nats were ready to offer Soto a record-setting contract. Now that he has turned it down, fans can't help but speculate if the club's retaliating. It sounds petty, and that’s exactly how it looks from the outside.Olney’s tweet implied that both Boras and Soto are in a position to make the travel arrangements themselves. Yes, they are, but why should they pay out of their own pockets? Tony Fioriglio@TheTonyFiorigli@Buster_ESPN Nothing says America quite like a reporter from a huge corporation saying that an employee should pay out of his own pocket to attend a work-related obligation.3196@Buster_ESPN Nothing says America quite like a reporter from a huge corporation saying that an employee should pay out of his own pocket to attend a work-related obligation.Tony Fioriglio@TheTonyFiorigli@Buster_ESPN LOL. Wait, were you not advocating for an employee to spend out of his own pocket for a work-related function? Because "Soto makes $17.1m; he could've done it, too." seems pretty cut and dry to me. Do you often travel on your own dime for Sunday Night Baseball?1101@Buster_ESPN LOL. Wait, were you not advocating for an employee to spend out of his own pocket for a work-related function?

He turns down their extension and they’re like “get yourself to the ASG” (even though you represent us in our uniform there).I’m all for making millionaires pay, but this looks wrong. It’s a business trip; business pays17@Buster_ESPN It’s bad PR for Washington. It also screams: retaliation.

It could certainly help in his quest for a record-breaking contract from elsewhere for his client.Charles L. Freeman@charleslfreemn@Buster_ESPN Bora$ has claimed he wasn’t allowed to do it but, you’re 1000% correct that Soto could have done it. IMO, this is just another Bora$ stunt.27@Buster_ESPN Bora$ has claimed he wasn’t allowed to do it but, you’re 1000% correct that Soto could have done it.

You’re buying into Biras’s narrative@Sportsbook_Ken @Buster_ESPN Ken, chartering a flight for one player is super rarely done. You’re buying into Biras’s narrativeSome fans don’t seem bothered by the ongoing chaos, and rightly so. Soto flew commercial, possibly first or business class, so he is going to be alright. Had it not been for his contract situation, I doubt it would have been blown out of proportion like it has been.Brent@oHIoBrent@Buster_ESPN Why does everyone feel he’s entitled to a private jet?The globe is literally burning on every continent.Sorry the poor fella that plays a kids game had to fly with us common folk one time. Sure hope it didn’t scar him for life.7@Buster_ESPN Why does everyone feel he’s entitled to a private jet?The globe is literally burning on every continent.Sorry the poor fella that plays a kids game had to fly with us common folk one time.
