Incredible trade. Hate to see him change teams but wow!

I hope the Padres can catch the Dodgers. I knew Hosmer was going to be traded but to Boston!

The Blue Jays could have had Soto for alot less, but they wanted Bichette included in the deal and the Jays said no, one player is not gonna win you the World Series.

They might not even make the playoffs.

Padres out of wild card. Though there is a long ways to go. Tatis should be getting back

I'd trade Bichette in a heartbeat for Soto.
