Juan Soto of the Washington Nationals has established himself as one of the league's top young stars. However, it appears the Nationals are not going to be able to keep him for much longer.Since the start of the season, it has been rumored that Soto might get traded ahead of his contract year. The rumors died down for a while. However, after Soto declined an extension offer made by the Nationals, those rumors ramped up again.SNY@SNYtvThe Nationals see the Mets as one of a few possible fits for Juan Soto.Washington's asking price would likely start with two or three of the Mets' top prospects (via @martinoyc) on.sny.tv/OePLkjm1512225The Nationals see the Mets as one of a few possible fits for Juan Soto.Washington's asking price would likely start with two or three of the Mets' top prospects (via @martinoyc) on.sny.tv/OePLkjm https://t.co/LrwFL8QVuFNow, Soto's name has been the headline of the most recent trade talks. Many other teams have been mentioned, but it seems that the New York Mets appear as the favorite. Being first in the National League East, the Mets are true playoff contenders this season, and Soto would be a huge pickup.Hal Reece@haldaddyyy@SNYtv @martinoyc Deal. I don’t need to know the names. Done. This is a no brainer.@SNYtv @martinoyc Deal. I don’t need to know the names. Done. This is a no brainer.Niiko 🗡@ItsNiikoYT@SNYtv @martinoyc70@SNYtv @martinoyc https://t.co/B52QgjJHeSIt is rumored that, in order for this trade to work, the Mets are going to have to give up a couple of top prospects. This could potentially include catcher Francisco Alvarez, who is currently lighting up the stat sheet for the Syracuse Mets, New York's Triple-A affiliate. We could also see Brett Baty, one of the Mets most promising third basemen in the farm system, get moved.Nate@fak3md@SNYtv @martinoyc Alvarez and Baty are untouchable but if you can get Soto? Maybe not so much.1@SNYtv @martinoyc Alvarez and Baty are untouchable but if you can get Soto?

So if the team that gets him can get him to resign, it will definitely be worth it.John Nucero@j_nucero@SNYtv @martinoyc You are passing on a 23 year old future hall of famer?@SNYtv @martinoyc You are passing on a 23 year old future hall of famer?If the New York Mets can somehow land a player in Juan Soto, they will be in great shape this postseason.Inside Juan Soto's epic career in the MLBSeattle Mariners v Washington Nationals - Game OneSoto is having a bit of a down year.
