"He loves to play the game of baseball," said Dave Martinez, who managed Soto on the Nationals for his first 4 ½ seasons in the big leagues. "The first time I ever met him, I just asked him, I said, 'Hey, what motivates you, what drives you? And the first thing he says is, 'I love baseball. That's all I want to do.'"
"I love him," Martinez said. "He's a competitor. He's one of the purest hitters in the game. He's a game changer. I've always wished him the best. Whoever does get him, if San Diego decides to keep him, they know they got a good one. But wherever he ends up, they're going to get a good player."
