The San Diego Padres and New York Yankees remain "far apart" in negotiations about a blockbuster Juan Soto trade, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, Dennis Lin and Brendan Kuty.
"The Padres are seeking a big, multi-player return for Soto, including major-league ready or near major-league ready pitching, according to an official with one of the clubs interested," per the report. "It also is possible the Padres will accept lower-level prospects if they believe those pitchers are sufficiently talented."
Andy Martino of SNY reported the Padres are asking for pitcher Michael King "and as many as six prospects" in exchange for Soto and and Trent Grisham.
