If you’re like me, you have spent the last several days obsessively checking Twitter in an ever more desperate hope to see a Ken Rosenthal, Jeff Passan, or Jack Curry tweet saying, “The Yankees and Padres have finalized a deal for star outfielder Juan Soto.” While obviously, the Yankees would still have a lot of work to do — additional pitching depth, an outfielder capable of playing center field, maybe a bullpen arm or two — acquiring the 25-year-old who ranks ninth in fWAR (28.4), fourth in wRC+ (154), and first in on-base percentage (.421) since he made his major league debut at the age of 19 would be the ideal start.
