Juan Soto’s departure marked the end ‘The Great Natsby’ era
The last time “Esa Muchacha” blared as Juan Soto stepped to the plate occurred on Monday night when he turned a 95 MPH pitch from New York Mets ace Max Scherzer into a deep centerfield moonshot. Soto later earned a standing ovation in what would be his home finale as a National, but Scherzer being t...

Juan Soto is on the trade block — and GMs better be prepared to break the bank

2020 NL East Preview
Atlanta won its second straight National League East title, but continued a run of playoff futility that dates back almost two decades.
