ok since my thread got deleted. Can we do a Mayer/Yorke/Rafaela/Mata/Groome/Kiké deal for Soto? I understand that's a lot. You're talking about a 23 year old with a career 21 WAR who would rake at Fenway forever. You know Bloom is a master at building the farm so im sure in 2-3 years we would be able to build it back up. This is a rare opportunity to add a top 3 proven player in baseball that's only 23 years old.

I would be targeting another Nationals player who is more reasonably priced..
Josh Bell is a switch hitter in the final year of his contract with a salary of less than $5 m left.
He can slide into the DH slot next season if he's re-signed. I'm tired of watching Bobby swinging at those pitches in the dirt and killing rallies.

Yeah, that "should get it done" if the Nats are forced to trade Soto and no other team in baseball exists other than the Red Sox, which isn't the case, as 28 other teams do exist and a number of them have better deals they could offer than what you propose, which is a guy playing bad enough to be demoted, a prospect who did get demoted and at age 25 has yet to establish himself, a basically average outfielder, a lotto ticket, and a legit prospect. I think Mayer is probably the starting point. Tack on two of Yorke, Casas, and Bello, and you at least have their attention, but still, another deep pocketed team with a better system or top tier of their system could beat that offer. Why not just resign Devers. He’s very close to Soto. The fact, we aren’t talking about just signing both who are very young, and the types of guys you give 10 year deals to, is what sucks about how things have changed around this team. The Boston Red Sox can afford to pay Soto and Devers who are both complete studs and young.

I wouldn't count the Red Sox out. It seems to me that the vast majority of their hesitation in signing players boils down to age. Giving a 28 year old a 12 year deal definitely gives me pause. Where Soto is 23, a 12-13 year deal brings him to his age 35-36 seasons, which is still within the range of production for a player of his skill set. Soto is going to be MLB's first 400 million dollar baseball player. I don't see Henry commiting that much money to one player ever (he likes to spread the money around with the payroll). I also don't see Bloom trading the prospect capital to acquire Soto. It's going to take a extreme prospect package. Goes against everything he's been building the past 3 years in Boston. You’re assuming he signs his next contract before Ohtani.

It's very possible that whichever team trades for Soto is just trading for what is left of his team control and will not be looking to extend him. So teams like the Rays could get involved. The prospect cost will be enormous if he's traded at this deadline or in the offseason because he's not a free agent until 2025.

I think bloom should learn from his old boss . Take a page from dodgers playbook. Clear salary then trade for Soto and Corbin. Make them pay half of Corbin salary like we did with price Give three good not great prospects.

Make them pay half of Corbin salary like we did with price Give three good not great prospects. You're taking about an additional year and a half of control vs. the Mookie trade. It won't be in the same ballpark. It'll be 2.5-3 times the prospect cost.

I would trade 5 of our top 10 plus Duran. Soto being 23 and one of the best players in baseball would be worth it. Mayer included. Any 5 of the top 10 you pick plus Duran. This guy with Devers would be so awesome for the next decade.

Casas, Yorke, bello, Mata, Duran, bleis. I think the nats take that, and I offer soto 12/420 and Devers 10/350 (same AAV). Ortiz and Manny 2.0. You can find a RHH COF type to slot in the 3 spot between those 2 and they would be an all-star with that protection
****$70 mill towards the CBT so you have plenty of wiggle room to add players via free agency/trades to build around them***
