The Padres reportedly had a “preliminary conversation” with the Yankees over a potential Juan Soto trade, according to Andy Martino of SNY.
Martino reports that, despite contact having been made between the two teams, talks have not advanced beyond their “initial check-in.”
“The strong expectation of rival executives is that Soto, 25 years old and entering his final season before free agency, would be available in ‘the right deal,’ as one non-Padres and non-Yankees exec put it. That means that San Diego is not actively shopping Soto, but is not ruling out a move, either,” wrote Martino on Wednesday.
