Padres. They have the talented youngsters that The Nationals are looking for, so Preller will go for it.

Ken Rosenthal— “ One executive, in assessing the Soto sweepstakes, said, “I think San Diego is as likely as the other 28 teams combined. They have the players and they have Preller.” Preller, of course, is Padres GM A.J. Preller, who is known around the game for pursuing every star player imaginable, from Ohtani to Brewers closer Josh Hader. Soto said during the 2019 postseason that as an amateur he thought he would he would sign with the Padres before ending up with the Nationals. Now Preller has a second chance to get his man. The Padres could go in any number of directions. They have spoken with the Cubs about different concepts for the last 12 months, including one last summer that would have sent first baseman Eric Hosmer and a top prospect to Chicago for an unspecified return. Considering that both Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and left fielder Ian Happ are fits for the Padres, it would not be surprising if those talks revived in some form.” theathletic.com/3445645/2022/07/24/mlb-trade-deadline-ohtani-soto/?source=user_shared_article |

From the same:
The Padres could put a package together for Soto from those players and others. The question of whether they should make such a deal is another matter. Adding the remainder of Soto’s $17.1 million salary would put them over the luxury-tax threshold for the second straight season. At some point, they will need to incorporate some of their young players to help balance their payroll. And Preller, for all his trade wizardry, has not proven adept at roster construction.

All depends on Corbin being included or not.

I still believe Soto will be traded, but the Padres won't be the team that gets him.

The dumbest thing you'll read today. JT the Brick does indeed have quite a buzz going on, if he thinks that way. |

As I have already plainly stated, I don't think the Padres are going to acquire Juan Soto. That is my opinion, as many opinions are spouted on this board daily. It's why it's here. If the Padres prove me wrong, well hot damn. I don't see it happening. |

All depends on Corbin being included or not. I’m in agreement with Rosenthal that forcing Corbin on a team doesn’t make a ton of sense. This sums it up perfectly — “ • For all the talk of the Nationals including left-hander Patrick Corbin in a trade for Soto, such a move would not appear terribly logical. True, Corbin is owed $59 million in 2023 and 2024, with $10 million of his 2024 salary deferred. But payroll should not be an issue for the Nationals, who have only $62 million committed for next season. As a rebuilding club in need of talent, the Nats’ priority should be maximizing the return for Soto, not further reducing payroll. Requiring a team to take Corbin along with Soto would diminish the quality of that return, and the additional payroll flexibility would mean little to a team not likely to contend anytime soon.” |
