“We have the talent,” said new Padres teammate Fernando Tatis Jr. about the team’s World Series prospects. “We definitely have the talent, and we have the team to do it. “
Preller, already known for an innate ability to pull off trades, navigated his way through perhaps one of baseball's biggest deals ever at the trade deadline when he acquired Soto, the superstar outfielder from the Washington Nationals who is one of the game's best young hitters, and switch-hitting first baseman Josh Bell.
Soto remains under team control for two more seasons after this one, which made it no sure thing the Nationals would trade him now. The Padres getting him for potentially three playoff runs even absent a new deal made this the peak of Soto’s value. Asked what made Soto special, Machado paused and said, “I don't even know how to answer that question. I mean, he's Juan Soto. He does what he does every single day, every single year and he showed it in the postseason, showed it in All-Star Games, the Home Run Derby. Just the way he posted up every single day.”
Preller said the teams went through so many versions of the deal that"when we got to the finish line at the end, there was some celebrations, some cheers, some high-fives, maybe some disappointment seeing some of the prospects going out the door.” That'll be in San Diego. Soto and Bell will be introduced at an afternoon news conference and are expected to be in the lineup that night against the Colorado Rockies.
The massive deal came a day after Preller swung a blockbuster trade to get All-Star closer Josh Hader from Milwaukee and finalized a $100 million, five-year contract for All-Star right-hander Joe Musgrove.
