Adam Jones and Juan Soto
Former MLB outfielder Adam Jones took upon twitter to share his past All-Star experience, according to him he paid for his trip to the All-Star Game three of the five times he made the cut. However, he acknowledged the fact that he is not a big name as Juan Soto is currently in the Major League Baseball.
Diving deeper, Adam Jones wasn’t the first and Juan Soto won’t be the last All-Star to travel commercially for All-Star events. It is said, that is how things work if you are not playing at an elite level. This might sound surprising to the Major League Fans but that is what Juan Soto had to face.
Despite Juan Soto being who he is, Washington Nationals showed Soto that his huge success and high status in the league will not provide a flight to him for the All-Star festivities, especially, not after he turned down the Nationals 15-year deal worth $400 Million.

Adam Jones expresses understanding, keeping in mind how notable Juan Soto is
According to his agent Scott Boras, Soto flew to Los Angeles on a commercial flight and got there at 1:30 A.M. the morning of the Home Run Derby. Imagine. Juan Soto beyond a doubt is one of the best young players in the MLB.
The 23-year-old already has a World Series Championship and many other accolades to his name. This All-Star Break, Soto added 2022 Home Run Derby champion and his second All-Star Game to his collection of achievements.
Adam Jones said, “I’ve paid for 3 of the 5 times I made the ASG. But we only had 1 player the first 3 times and I wasn’t no damn Soto lol. But last 2 they paid and for 2016 for the guys in SD. More ppl. But I love reading the comments. If you don’t know something, just say that ppl. It’s easy”
Joy Heyman replied to clarify Adam Jones’ head off who he was and who Juan Soto is, “Teams sometimes provide private travel to All-Star Game to players who by definition are performing at elite level but are not obligated to do so. Players can also pay for their own private travel. But agents are disallowed from paying as private travel is Obvs a gift over $500.”
