  • Juan Soto is headed to the New York Yankees in a blockbuster trade, but does this trade make the Yankees World Series contenders again? The Yankees offense really struggled in 2023, and adding an outfield bat was a major priority for New York this offseason. They added the biggest bat available this offseason in Soto, the kind of hitter that makes any lineup better, but does he fix all of New York's offensive problems, and can the Yankees afford to lose all the starting pitching they just traded away? In this video we'll break down the Juan Soto trade, the Yankees revamped lineup, and the pitchers being sent to San Diego.

    You forgot to mention the Padres Pitching Coach, Ruben Niebla.
    RN has been instrumental since he got to SDP in 2021. He has been a teacher especially to Snell (CY Young), Lugo, Wacha, and Martinez. This will be important to the new acquired arms for SDP.
    Both teams got their wants and needs, I believe the Padres just got the better deal.
    Defense wins.
    Oh BTW, Blinn, M. (2022, October 19). Padres’ Juan Soto loses ball in sun in costly NLCS blunder. The New York Post.
    But, we'll all have to see how 2024 plays out for both clubs. Specifically for NYY fans.

    They need the Martian back we saw just a sample size of what his switch hitting bat is gonna mean in the middle of this lineup plus able to not burn out & protect Judge every day in center field cause we all know Stanton is gonna get injured so the DH will be utilized for Judge..👍🏽

      Well, if you are going to put it like that, and include the 2 other major league pitchers, not prospects, included in the deal - yeah, it sounds bad.
      But, if you realize how many more tickets Soto can sell then Michael King, etc. - then, you can see the "wosdom" of the deal.

    After the Othani deal the Yankees are in trouble 😂 cause now Scott Boras is gonna ask crazy amount of cash for another player. I hope they break the bank and fail in the playoffs..I don't want my team to spend money like that anymore I want to see young talent develop and to be competitive, I've seen four championships in my lifetime and giving the Yankees the most embarrassing lost in the history of the game is enough for me😂 let's go Red Sox!

    • @xJohnny_Ax
      @xJohnny_Ax 9 місяців тому +2

      It’s a 1 year rental bc Boras wants Soto to hit the open market, stupid move by them. The Nats, brilliantly, traded him away when his value was at its peak

  • @Malcolm.Y
    @Malcolm.Y 9 місяців тому +1

    You say Soto is the kind of bat, you can build a lineup around.
    -For your benefit, let's skip over the part where the Yankees have this guy for only one year - and that might not be enough time to "build" anything.
    -But go ahead, and give me some examples from the last 50 years of team's that "build" a championship team around one bat. (Cue Jeopardy theme).
    How did "building" around Trout and Othani work out for the Angels?

    • @SmartrBaseball
      @SmartrBaseball  9 місяців тому

      The one year rental risk is a big part of this for sure, I'd say you need at least the one superstar hitter for a great lineup, don't know if you agree or disagree. And as far as the Angels I don't think they built around Trout/Ohtani, didn't develop young guys around them and only really added Rendon (and that's gone great lol)

    • @xJohnny_Ax

      The main reason is because Scott Boras wants him to hit the open market in FA, but yeah I doubt he wanted to stick around for the massive rebuild the Nats are doing.
      Soto turning down that contract inversely set up the Nationals to succeed in the future with all the stud prospects the Padres sent over

      Just like the Mets, the Yankees have an owner that wants to invest in his team to win. It's good for baseball. What isn't good is having cheap owners that want socialist revenue sharing from teams over the tax threshold. That's just corrupt opportunism and quite ironic coming from rich people like these owners.
