A total stud. The Padres raked on the Soto trade. Mike King is a potential Cy Young winner. And both Jhony Brito and Randy Vasquez pitched really well at the MLB level last year and have great potential. Plus, they're all relatively cheap because they're early in their careers. The Yanks got one good player in return. But even Soto is not worth that much talent. And he could leave after next year. On the other hand,, if he stays Soto will have the Yankees over a barrel. Cashman would look like a total fool if he surrendered all that pitching talent just to rent Soto for one year. So Soto will be able to ask for a moonshot salary which will tie up insane amounts of money for at least 8 years, maybe 10. This is precisely how Cashman ended up paying Arod and Stanton ludicrous money and feel forced to play them instead of breaking in younger players and saving the money to sign guys in their prime.
