The New York Yankees reportedly won't trade pitchers Michael King and Drew Thorpe to the San Diego Padres, even if it would mean bringing back star outfielder Juan Soto.
"There's not enough eggnog in all of Manhattan to make them trade pitcher Michael King, pitching prospect Drew Thorpe, and a handful of other prospects while also taking on Padres center fielder Trent Grisham's projected $5-6 million contract," USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote of the Yankees while also noting shortstop Anthony Volpe hasn't come up in the trade discussions.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported the Yankees and Padres haven't spoken since San Diego asked for six players in return for Soto and Grisham.
