July 21, 2022 – Juan Soto has informed his friends and family that he is homosexual. This news comes just days after Soto turned down a $440 million, 15 year deal with the Washington Nationals. This would have been the largest contract in the history of baseball. The media was informed late Thursday afternoon on Soto’s behalf by a friend. He asks that the public respect the privacy of Soto and his boyfriend, Alex, during this difficult time. Soto is expected to release an official statement in the coming days.
