His value will be diminished somewhat by the lack of a post-season run, but I really think most teams looking to acquire him are doing so with an eye on the next decade+ rather than just his team control years. It does seem that the Lerners would be wise to let the owernship situation play it. It could potentially cost them tens of millions (hundreds?) if they play it wrong. |

Since Brennen Davis may/may not have an actual spine (and I've never thought he was equal to the prospect hype anyway). I know y'all are fond of Pete Crow-Armstrong but...I mean...c'mon. |

I dunno, PCA getting pretty close to where Davis was on the boards. Cubs have one of the better ranked systems in the game. They just dont have that premier guy right now since Davis had the back surgery but he did have 60FV grades before the season.

That's...not ideal for the Padres. Then again, like I said last week, Gore's been backing up for a bit now. Very little surprise that there's an injury at the source. |

I give it very little chance of happening, but its literally 0% chance to happen before the deadline. Let a man dream. |

Katie Woo on the Athletic thinks this gets it done
Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn, in the Cardinals’ case — seems to be the bare minimum Washington would ask for. It’s believed the rostered player the Nationals would covet the most is 23-year-old outfielder Dylan Carlson, who isn’t arbitration-eligible until 2024 and won’t be a free agent until 2027. Plus take on Corbin’s money and add a starting pitcher to the deal. But, she says the Cards are focusing on acquiring starting pitching at the deadline ,not Soto. |

Cardinals are dumb as **** if they just brush this off and stash it in the "we don't need him to win" category. Cubs have no shot at it because even with a top 5 ranked system there's no Walker level guy in the system. An Athlethic writer for the Cubs said this on the situation...
And then this nugget...
DeWitt and Mozeliak over there focusing on that 1 time where it arguably didn't work out with a player that most certainly wasn't anywhere near Soto's level. There's solid pitching available out there that's probably available for cheap. Blake Snell is probably on the we need to free up cash list for the Padres and he's got a 3.5 FIP on the season. Mike Clevinger is probably on that same list and he just returned from TJS. Neither of those guys would require anyone from the Soto pool of prospects, unlike a guy like Montas.

You always trade for a talent like Soto.

If the Royals were in the same position with a solid team and the right prospects to trade like the Cardinals are and they didn't go after Soto I would be pissed.
