I know this has come up a couple of times already but I still can’t help but think that Click has to be calling the Nats about Soto. Juan Soto is under control for 2.5 years! He’s not a rental like Graveman was last year when we gave up Toro.

The Astros have been sending a ton of guys up and down this year because the team is loaded at every position. I don’t think it would kill the team to package 2 out 3 outfielders in Siri, McCormick, or Meyers and like 2 out 3 infielders in Jones, Matajevic, and Goodrum.

I think 2.5 years of control of Juan Soto, who is one of the best hitters in all of baseball, wouldn’t cripple the team for years after. 2.5 years is enough time for new prospects to make their mark and bring them up when Soto tries to get his $500 million contract.

Could you imagine an Astros lineup that looked like this for the next 2.5 years??
