It's understandable if the Washington Nationals' first instinct with Juan Soto is to tell other teams to back the hell off.The outfielder has already become so much more than the well-regarded prospect that he was coming into 2018. He started with a 1.300 OPS and five homers in 16 games for Single-A Hagerstown. He then got bumped to High-A Potomac, for whom he's put up a 1.275 OPS and six homers in only 14 games.By the way, this dude is still only 19 years old.At the least, Soto has leap-frogged Victor Robles as the most exciting prospect in Washington's farm system. At most, he's put himself in the running for the best prospect in baseball.But while the Nationals could wait for Soto, it could mean waiting until 2020 . He's not going to help them this year, which is kinda-sorta-definitely an important year for the franchise with Bryce Harper (and others) due for free agency.At this rate, Soto could be used to land just about any trade candidate. With needs at catcher, in the outfield and in their bullpen, the Nationals have plenty of excuses to cash him in.
