Juan Soto is headed to San Diego.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Padres have acquired Soto, and Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals in exchange for Eric Hosmer, MacKenzie Gore, C.J. Abrams, Robert Hassell III, James Wood, and Jarlin Susana.
One of the most significant trades in MLB history, Soto will now team up with fellow superstars Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado through the 2024 campaign before reaching free agency.
A generational talent, Soto is a lifetime .291 hitter, with 119 home runs and 358 RBI in 565 career MLB games.
