On the heels of a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs, the San Diego Padres have reportedly talked internally about the possibility of trading star outfielder Juan Soto.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, trading Soto is the "only logical end point" for the Padres, and they have "internally discussed their options" regarding a Soto trade.
Passan added that the Padres would want "near-major league-ready" starting pitchers back as part of a Soto deal, and he listed the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs and Seattle Mariners as teams that could make such an offer.
