Closer Taylor Rogers, along with the prospects, is a decent return, and one could argue it is a fair trade. With that being said, the Padres appear to be all-in to try and win in 2022.

The team did not give up any of their top prospects as they continue to express interest in acquiring Juan Soto.

"That said: The Padres didn't give up any of the main prospects they've been talking about in myriad other deals. C.J. Abrams, Robert Hassell III, James Wood and Jackson Merrill all remain, as does MacKenzie Gore. Could the Padres really pull off a Juan Soto-Josh Hader double?" - Jeff Passan
