SAN DIEGO — The Padres on Tuesday pulled off one of the biggest deals in the history of Major League Baseball.
In return for what is widely considered to be an unprecedented haul of young talent, they acquired outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals.
The 23-year-old Soto is roundly considered one of the best players in the majors, and in his first five seasons has put up numbers comparable to the all-time greats.
