Derek Jeter is no longer donning the pinstripes, but he seems to have a good sense of how desperate the Yankees are.
For the 49-42 Yankees, who sit in fourth place in a competitive AL East and one game out of a contested wild card spot, a superstar boost from the likes of Soto could reinvigorate their season, though it would come at a great cost.Judge has been sidelined since June 3 with a right toe injury and the Yankee offense has cratered in his absence.Soto is in the midst of another excellent season.
The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .265/.419/.479 with 15 home runs on a 43-47 Padres team that has struggled to meet expectations as well. The Padres, like the Yankees, are in fourth place in their division. However, the Yankees are one game out of a wild-card spot, while San Diego sits six back. For the Padres to trade the dynamic outfielder, you would have to imagine they would want a similar haul to the massive one they sent to the Nationals last year for Soot.Should Soto become available again — his contract extends through 2024 — any package would have to be substantial, likely including some of the Yankees’ best prospects and potentially MLB talent as well.
