The New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres have been engaging in talks for Juan Soto, in a trade package that had great possibilities of coming to fruition but in recent hours the negotiations have stalled.
According to a note from MLB.com, the Toronto Blue Jays have an advantage over the Yankees in the last few hours in a possible move that includes the 25-year-old left-handed hitter.
According to SNY’s Andy Martino, the Padres wanted a package of players that included Michael King and Drew Thorpe (MLB’s 99th prospect), but New York wants to keep King in the rotation next year and is not willing to give up. deliver.
New York wants to add a star outfielder who is also left-handed, a bat that they can place between Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton in the lineup to give the team greater stability, something they suffered from last season.
The Yankees were left out of the postseason for the first time since 2016 and the Padres did not go to the playoffs either, despite having a team loaded with great figures, such as Fernando Tatís Jr., Xander Bogaerts, Manny Machado and Soto himself.
