Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our bi-weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
jmack175 asks: Is there a recent comp that makes sense for what a Soto trade might look like — and since he already turned down $400 million, is there a chance he’d even discuss an extension with a team he gets traded to (especially being a Boras client)?
It’s a strange position to make comparisons to, as most rental deals would be negotiated closer to the deadline in order to leverage the playoff race and raise the stakes that another contender would be desperate enough to outbid a team that really needs a star like Soto.
