Will it happen? That's the big question. Look, we already saw so many problems with what Cashman has done. His intention was to make the Yankees better, but in turn what happened was quite the opposite... bad analytics and bad luck gave us a whole lot of bad moves. And now we're all pissed off about it.
But the Juan Soto "blockbuster trade" chatter is very real, but at what expense? Is Juan Soto a true superstar or are we all buying into the media buzz that is relentless into trying to convince every Yankee fan that a world with Soto in the Bronx is better than a world without him.
My question is who we giving up and just how great IS Juan Soto? Both are valid questions. Oh and here's another question... will Cashman give away guys that have proven themselves to be the future of the Yankees because he's panicked? It's a huge thing to think about. Why? Because let's face it... the analytics department has not been fired yet, and Cashman just goes on bad gut moves and bad information. Don't believe me? Ask Jordan Montgomery. Ask Nathan Eovaldi.
Inside the Pinstripes says that the idea of Soto to the Yankees is being monitored pretty damn closely.
"... according to The Athletic's Chris Kirschner...." The Yankees have been closely monitoring the Padres' roster, specifically Soto, and the team's payroll crunch since before this season's trade deadline. With the Padres floundering at the deadline, the Yankees had one of their veteran scouts in San Diego taking inventory of their roster. Yankees officials unsurprisingly think very highly of Soto."
