Scherzer and Turner had played alongside Soto since 2018 before the Nationals shipped the two superstars to Los Angeles in a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline. The Dodgers went on to post the best record in baseball over the final two months of the season with Scherzer (7-0, 1.98 ERA) and Turner (.338/.385/.565) leading the way. Washington has since kicked off a youth movement, looking toward the future with Soto as its central building block. The 22-year-old outfielder went on a tear of his own down the stretch, making a legitimate case for NL MVP despite the Nationals finishing 65-97. Even though they’re no longer teammates, Soto decided to get his offseason started by showing his support for a pair of Nationals legends.
