Pirates will steal Soto at the last minute.
Just kidding.

To be fair, he's only pitched 21 innings in the majors. He was a control guy with pretty decent numbers until he hit AAA when something pretty clearly happened with his mechanics and he out of nowhere started walking nearly 6 batters per 9. His first year in the majors he gained it back and had a 7.59 ERA but the Phillies defense is trash and his FIP was 3.66. He's walking guys again, but it's a really small sample size. There's stuff there to work with and you traded Sosa so there's really not much more you could ask for.

Twitter is starting to light up with rumors the Cards are the front runners for Soto. I'm about 50/50 on whether I actually want them to give up that many guys for him. I know I know they are "prospects" for a reason.
Hopefully they have an extension worked out if they do because if they don't lock him up this could be a huge gamble. |

Also WTF did the Brewers trade Hader to the Padres? They are also rumored to be shopping Wong.
WTH? |

However, I don't think paying him that much or more going forward would be a wise commitment. The Brewers also got a lot in return. As for Wong, probably the same idea. |
