There is reportedly some belief within Major League Baseball that the San Diego Padres will make the biggest push to acquire Washington Nationals superstar outfielder Juan Soto via trade.
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Padres are viewed as the "most motivated team" on the trade market by rival executives, making them a strong threat to pursue and land Soto.
Olney also noted that there is a growing feeling within MLB that Soto getting dealt before the Aug. 2 trade deadline is a "real possibility" since his value will only decrease as his salary goes up and he gets closer to free agency.
