With Juan Soto reportedly expected to be traded this offseason, the Padres star’s list of suitors has continued to take shape as MLB fans anxiously await the news of his next landing spot.
As teams around the league circle the wagon on the blockbuster deal, the latest update on trade talks surfaced Friday, as The Athletic reported the Yankees and Blue Jays as two teams closely linked to a deal for Soto, 25.
Although both teams were listed, New York’s overtures appear to be the strongest at this time, though the AL East club is currently considered to be “far apart” in talks with San Diego. Still, the report named multiple players as possible trade targets based on talks, including Yankees pitchers Clarke Schmidt and Michael King, and Padres centerfielder Trent Grisham as another piece in a Soto-to-NYC trade package.
