As like the third piece in a deal where I don't think I can get him signed? No.
I mean if you're asking Walker, Gorman, Carlson, Winn for Soto without a contract - no, I'm not doing that.
But with a contract? I mean...I dunno. Maybe. He's sooooooo goooooood. And he's post-season tested. And his skills should all age exceptionally well.
I mean this is the Miguel Cabrera deal all over again. And the Tigers were said to have given up a ton in real time - turns out they didn't give up much at all. And that's USUALLY how these things work (unless you're the Cardinals and you trade the NL CY winner plus Zac Gallen for 1.5 years of Marcel Ozuna).
But honestly, I don't think anybody can touch that deal so I don't think the Cardinals would have to go that high. And if the Nats insist on including Corbin in there as well, that's a HUGE barrier to entry.
Everything is fluid but the short answer is that unless your answer is "I'd be willing to give up the biggest trade package in modern baseball history for that guy" then you're doing it wrong.
He's the most valuable trade asset to hit the block since Cabrera and I can't think of anybody who was this good, this young, to get dealt before that.
