The Yankees are expected to acquire star outfielder Juan Soto, along with outfielder Trent Grisham, from the Padres in exchange for five players, per multiple reports. San Diego will get pitchers Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Johny Brito, Randy Vásquez and catcher Kyle Higashioka back in the deal.
The New York Post’s Joel Sherman reported that the deal is now complete, while Sherman and Yes Network’s Jack Curry reported the full, seven-player package.
Soto’s trade to New York has been of much discussion over the past few weeks, as the Yankees and Padres have reportedly gone back-and-forth in negotiations. While the two sides were “far apart” on a deal as recently as last Friday, they came together to find common ground at the Winter Meetings this week.
