redsoxsuck05 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 How often is a kid like Soto on the trading block? This is Miggy to the Tigers part 2...and I wonder how many of their fans cried over losing Cam Maybin and Andrew Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the Padres, yes. What do the Padres have? Abrams is nice but okay, probably speedy second baseman. Hassell? Okay, a 20 year old hitting nice in Single A is fine but he's still more lottery ticket than certified prospect. MacKenzie Gore has collapased and the Nationals are the worst organization at developing talent. The Nationals already have a MLB ready catcher, so unless someone wants to give up a kings ransom for Campusano, they dont need him. Cards can offer young, 4+ WAR, cost controlled MLB player(s), the number 7 overall prospect who hits for power, and two other top 100 prospects.

biggio7 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 The Nationals are shooting for it and I don't blame them. But, I don't think any team will be able to pull off a trade for him with that cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he meant that the Cardinals couldn't put together a package.....but instead doubting the front office's willingness to do so.

The Cardinals certainly have a compelling offer they can put together. That's not the problem. The problem is I don't see the Cardinals ponying up the prospects AND giving the mega-deal Juan Soto is going to command. Nolan Arenado was effectively salary dumped on the Cardinals, and in the Goldschmidt deal they got him for Luke Weaver, Carson Kelly, and a competitive balance pick. I'd argue the D'Backs traded upside for MLB-ready prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. But more the fact that they're going to have to pay him a crap ton of money AND give up a ton of prospects. DeWitt (rightfully) signed off on taking Nolan Arenado's contract, but it cost the Cardinals a BOR starter in Austin Gomber and an interesting lottery ticket in Mateo Gil.

BullsandBroncos Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Honestly think that Soto will be on the Padres or the Giants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
