The only issue is they would never pay the man what it would take to keep him beyond two years. People will say you can’t trade 6.5 years of Robert for 2.5 of Soto but the thing is you can when it’s Juan f’ing Soto, we’re not talking about trading for a top 25 hitter in the league we’re talking about trading for a top 3 hitter in the league if not the best. We can only hope Robert becomes that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope Robert becomes that 6.5 years of Robert is actually like 3 years in terms of games played. The best ability is availability!

We can only hope Robert becomes that Robert fWar this year 2.2 . Soto fWar this year 2.4. All trading Robert for Soto does is open a huge offensive and defensive hole in CF and adding Sotos bat and cruddy defense and adds much more salary. Would be nice to hang onto Robert for all those extra years who contributes offense, defense, power , stolen bases and good base running and is the the only one on the Sox who does that (when healthy). Soto is useless to the Sox if you take away more production than you get. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I am very pro Soto. But you have to add him in a way that maximizes the team building. It would be a huge waste to negate his addition by shedding too much current team production. Robert does that. I am understanding of Vaughn at least because his lack of position has wrecked his output, but I also blame Grandal/sheets for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Someone (didn't catch his name) on MLBN saying that the Giants are interested in getting Soto even though they're also looking to move veterans with expiring contracts. Anybody that Washington would be interested in that we could ship to SF for Rodon + Joc that they could use as part of their package to get Soto?
