Why Is Juan Soto Always Getting Traded?

Juan Soto is on a clear Hall of Fame trajectory. He's been compared to Ted Williams, a player dubbed the greatest hitter who's ever lived. Yet, he's now on his 3rd different team at just 25 years old. That is beyond unprecedented, so how did we get here?

1. He wants to test free agency.
2. His first two teams wanted to get something return for him before he tests free agency.
Really isn’t complicated.
But it is. Can you imagine judge or Harper getting traded not once but twice ?
If they were traded to teams that didn't appear close to competing for a WS and needed to replenish their farm systems, Yes.
@@aunch3 if judge wasnt on the yankees and harper was on a rebuilding team then yea i could
Hypotheticals 🙄
Exactly
Simple answer: He wants to play for ALL the MLB teams.
For me, his career arc is giving me flashbacks to a young Alex Rodriguez. Both immensely talented players that broke into the Major Leagues at very young ages. And both are going to be likely to sign free agency deals that will act to reset the market. (You know Scott Boras is looking at the Ohtani deal and thinking that is going to be his starting point for Soto) But, if any team outside of the big market players, like Los Angeles or New York, attempt give him that deal, I think it will go about as well for them as it did for the early 00's Rangers. As good as Soto is, teams still need to be able to surround him with quality supporting talent. And other than the big market teams, most organizations just don't have the resources to handle his contract demands while fielding a competitive team around him.
It’s simple. Soto and Boras want to test free agency. The Nats were/are rebuilding initially with the plan of doing it around him but after declining their 400+ mil extension offer, they had to trade him to get the most pieces/value back. Padres lost their window to compete with their tv deal going under so they needed to restock on pitching depth and cut payroll
You did in one paragraph, what this video tries to do in "10 minutes or so". And he's not always getting traded. He was traded twice, because of exactly what is described in the original comment.
"Nothing is a sure bet in baseball, just ask Pete Rose."
DAAMMNNN
He didn't sign the Nationals mega-contract, that is why. Coulda been a short video.
"Why does he get traded"
Before watching, I just say: well if you look him up on Baseball reference and check where it says "Agent", you see the name "Boras". And thats really all you need to know. He got an offer to remain with the Nats, a rather lucrative one at that, but he wanted to cash in for more because the offer was, strictly by baseball market metrics, a bit undervaluing him. - Yup this got mentioned.
Honestly though it's still hard not to like Soto. Dude went to LA to support his traded teammates in the NLWC in 2021 and I respect him for that.
He better not go through one of his long hitting slumps like he did in SD. The NY fans are not as forgiving as Padre fans.
Oh he will
@@AtomicAdame He'll still be getting on base at an elite rate even when slumping though.
@@NauchoAlbion and the lineup will hit it into a DP behind him. yanks are frustrating to watch
@@Tomb413 Maybe, just pointing out that Juan Soto slumping is still probably an above average hitter compared to the league.
“When I was 19 I crashed my car into my mailbox” 😂
He's too good to not test free agency and too good not to try and compete for a title with. Padres and Yankees convinced themselves theyre Soto away and they aren't. But the Yankees can afford soto at least. He wants to be a yankee anyways. Dominicans are beloved stars in New York as well as at home.
💯
RIP to the man Peter Seidler, who’s love for the city and the padres brought this man for a fun, albeit short, stint with the team. San Diego lost a huge member of its community and I just hope that the organization moves forward and attempts to honor Seidlers vision.
It’s pronounced Jim Cott - he’s in the Hall of Fame.
Unless he’s got pitching skills we haven’t seen, I don’t think he gets Ohtani level money.
Not even close
I hate money.
I'm a new Yorker. He got family here. I'm Dominican. NYC the mecha of Dominicans. He found his home !!!
Rumor has it in San Diego there was some problems in the locker room
The ultimate Boras client. Loooaads of hype with a Yankee springboard. Good luck whoever signs him; I guarantee he'll abandon fielding, base running, etc to just be your personal DHesus. Have fun with that.
Your comment hasn't aged well.
@@greatloverofmusic1 I didn't hear any fat lady (Yogi Berra, you should know), and he's on a one year deal. Please.
@MrBendylaw I guess watching him own the batters box as a 20 year old in the world series gave me a very different impression.
@@greatloverofmusic1 I never once have questioned his hitting skills, and I never will. But that's not the question I'm asking.
@MrBendylaw You're right that wasn't the question. My point is that Soto's pride and work ethic will drive him. He'll never be Clemente in RF or Rickey on the bases, but he will do what he can to win. I don't believe Boras will do anything to change these qualities.
So happy when my Yankees got Soto
Is this a video about why Soto keeps getting traded or a summary of how good Juan Soto is?
… dude got traded twice, calm down
Soto and judge is the dynamic duo of Gotham City Soto being Robin💀💀
bro did Cole dirty with that choice of team photo...
😂😂😂 “Always” is hilarious
Babe Ruth's lifetime batting average is 342, Lou Gehrig's lifetime batting average is 340, and Juan Soto's career batting average is 284. He's best off trying for free agency.
The top fastball back in those days was like 85 mph 😂
I’m not even going to reason with u bc u won’t listen but ur just wrong
pitchers fucking sucked for the most part back then
He’ll get 400 million in free agency because teams value getting on base who cares if he hits for average
Put Juan Soto in 1920 and he hits .400 with a ..550 on base , just stop the comparisons
Soto can become the new era texiera for the Yankees. Tex was traded quite a bit for whatever reason before he ended up a yankee
Teixeira wasn't traded to the Yankees. He was a free agent during the 2008-2009 off season.
@@jordansoviet23 I know. I was saying that he was traded a few times before becoming a yankee. Same with Soto but for the exception the trade to the Yankees
Five months in and into June the Yankees has the best record in the American League.
I'm still waiting what will happen after this 2024 season is over.
I always keep on hearing "put random power hitter in Yankee Stadium and he'll hit 100 homers with that short porch", and yet, it never seems to come to fruition. I doubt Soto will be any different in that regard. When hitters with elite power make good contact, they end up hitting no-doubters, when they don't make good contact, they either pop the pitch up or hit a grounder.
didn't he say the opposite
I think it’s because he wants to test free agency and become the most paid player in all of sports, America, or mlb.
That won’t happen ?
I don't think Soto can get more than Otani.
@@mukitulislam3533 if he has a MVP year he can
@@Tylerrrrrb if he wins MVP a team will over pay
no one is going to pay soto a 700M contract, absolutely nobody, no matter even if he wins MVP. ohtani's value as a pitcher is baked into his contract
All the baseball teams losing thier TV deals, the only one's that are gonna have TV deals are the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees and that's bad for baseball.
dugo in center, judge in right, soto in left
Juan Soto is the designer Max Muncy. Juan "Max Money" Soto. The Yankees are the designer L.A. Angels now, overpaying for players like Stanton & Soto instead farming talent.
Disagree. Juan Soto is not the same as mike Stanton. Juan Soto plays small ball, thats winning baseball, hes worth the money
I hope Yankee Stadium doesn't ruin him before good ol' uncle Steve brings him over to Queens in 2025.
Why is Juan Soto Always Getting Traded? MONEY
I’m 19 now and leaving for the Marines soon 😭
Not sure why there is so much hype around Soto. I watched every game last year in SD. He cannot carry a team. He is always looking for the walk, he is a horrible outfielder, watched him lose a few games because of his glove AND he’s a poor base runner. Yes, he hits moon shot home runs that look great on ESPN but not sure why ESPN doesn’t show his defensive blunders and lame base running? My opinion is if you want that crazy contract you should at least be elite on BOTH sides of the ball. So many times last year I was like poor Soto he should have taken that Nats contract because nobody gonna pay him that now. For the team that signs him to that massive contract, remember this, you’ll be paying all that money for a DH as his defensive liability will only get worse.
A DH who gets on base at a rate we haven’t seen since bonds. Plus baserunning won’t matter when judge is hitting him in
3:01 Acuña is a madman
Did the Yankees own staff misspell his name? LOL!
Only hope I have of keeping SOTO, is if we can get to the WS, or win it, and then pay him at least 40mil, and we pay our captain 40. Although jeter wasn’t the highest paid player, you gotta love baseball, so many crazy things happen
9:05 perfect storm
Dude's walk up music should be Pantera's best known song
They are not putting Judge in center field. Didn't they also get the padres center fielder? Aaron Judge in center would be a disaster in any ball park outside of yankees stadium lmao
Judge was originally a center fielder before his first MLB game in 2016.
Will see how he fits with Judge all business pro & Soto clowning at bats. Hopefully he has matured.
I love sotos atbats. Hope he doesn't change a lick.
@@anonymouscommenter7689 for the circus a plus!
If you want Soto to do well in the Bronx he has to be himself...
U think the Yankees will have one of the best outfields in baseball with Soto in right and Judge in center?!?!?!? That’ll be the worst defensive outfield in the league. Their bats aren’t gonna make up for all the balls gonna get down. Need one of them at DH if this has a chance at working
Judge has been good in CF. Soto's glove sucks, but at least RF at Yankee Stadium is small. I'm pretty confident their production will make up for the glove work.
The Jays would gladly switch if you're complaining
Today I learned "always" means twice.
Lol "always"? Bro....it's been twice. Once from a tanking team smart enough to move on since they're not gonna pay him (looking at you, Angels), and once from a catastrophically failed experiment in the Padres who are cutting their losses, also knowing they cant/wont pay him.
.....really not hard to figure out, and he's only been traded twice. Get traded each of the next 3 years, then we can have that conversation 😂
We love him here in the Bronx. I hope he retires here.
It’s simple. He didn’t want to stay in Washington after giving them a ring. The team was shambles anyways. The Padres thought they needed someone like him, only to become a totally bust and go into debt in the process. The Yankees needed a big name and bat, which Soto fits the bill. Really it comes down to the Padres and Yankees situation.
Basically it the Yankees play real well this year and they offer him a shit ton he will stay
“.ring to the BX” please
love the video
Aaron Judge in center? I didn’t know he was that kind of guy
He's played CF quite a bit and quite well the last couple of seasons.
@@greatloverofmusic1he's a center fielder before he was drafted.
lol how did you shave verdugo's beard
All you need is one word to explain this situation. MONEY lol. He wants to paid like a star player. And he's testing free agency so he can get as much as he can. If the extension the Nationals offered him was scoffed at, that's ain't enough for him and Boras.
Idk about always. He has been traded twice.
I want you guys to understand shohei is only getting payed 55-60 million a year in the derrent money so i think he wants to be the highest payed player yearly in american sports and he is at the best possible team to do this so GO BRONX MY YANKEES WINNING THE WORLD SERIES BABY
I don’t want judge in Center unless Soto signs long term. And then I’d switch them Dh/RF taking turns
he turned down a large contract with the Nats if I recall he had a home he declined. 440 mil 15 years
a crazy amount of it was deferred like pretty much half
Cole eating a banana 😂
Soto wants to go to Dodgers in 25!!!!!!
His agent 😂
wait till u see hunter renfroe’s history of changing teams
2 times qualifies as “always”
bro messed up shouldve been a national
If Soto hits 62 HRs on his contract year, then yes. He can get paid more than Judge. But the idea that every freaking year we have to have a new "highest paid" position player is getting tiring. Career .270 guys are getting 200 million now just because they're the best option _that_ year. It's too damned much.
Career .270 guys are getting 200 million because people aren't dumb enough to use batting average as a metric for how good a player is. Especially in 2023/24.
@@NauchoAlbion
Yeah? You got decent stats on how many people have walked in a run with a runner on 2nd? Just because smug folks claim batting average doesn't matter...it doesn't make it true.
The reason why people talk about OBP is because it involves walks which also get you on base instead of singles but yet when you bring up someone has a high batting average but maybe mostly singles then it's no longer about that but slugging. Oh and strikeouts don't matter either apparently because stranding runners is mathematically worth it if some hump hits a solo shot instead. Does that sound right?
@@TheLockdownKidNYC It doesn't matter if it's the only stat you're going to cherrypick especially when .270 is a decent average in today's game. Also I never mentioned OBP or K's so rant at someone else.
@@NauchoAlbion
Considering there's a batting title every year, I'd say prioritizing batting average isn't cherry picking.
@@TheLockdownKidNYC You brought up overpaid players and the only stat you mentioned was batting average. Not only is batting average one of the least used metrics now to rate a hitter but .270 isn't even a bad average.
Blows my mind that a career .285 hitter makes that kind of money.
By your flawed batting average logic ur saying Juan Soto is worse than Dee Gordon who is a career .286 hitter. Dee Gordon however is a well below average hitter with a putrid .679 ops and 91 ops plus while Soto is a career .284 hitter with an elite .946 ops and a 157 ops plus. Dee Gordon is 9% below average while Juan Soto is 57% above average. Juan Soto averages almost 1 base every plate appearance while Dee Gordon is no where close. That’s y batting average doesn’t matter.
@jackhumbach9086 sure, if he is so great why is he in his 3 team in 6 yrs?
@@TheObiShinobi couple of reasons first of all he could have been a national for life but he decided he didn’t want to bc they r a poverty organization so instead of letting him play out the contract where he would be amazing but they would still suck and eventually walk in free agency they traded him to get some value from him. Then the padres have 0 shot at paying him and they need multiple good young pitchers that will be theirs for years to come more than one elite bat for one year.
@@TheObiShinobi because he’ll be getting 400 million soon
@@jackhumbach9086if Juan Soto is so good then how come the Padres finished with an 82-80 record. 😂
18 games from the Dodgers and 2 behind the Dbacks.
The Padres were predicted to overtake the Dodgers in 2023.
Soto seems like a cancer. Selfish and not willing to be a team player nor can he lead by example.
The Yankees seem to be just a bunch of individuals. Not a “team”.
He's going back to the Nats to play with his little brother.
😆
If anyone can bring a ring to the Bronx. Its this guy.
Ah yes. As opposed to....Judge. Cole. Stanton. Etc etc
He was only traded twice. He's not going anywhere btw, yankees is a good fit for him. And no, I'm not a Yankees fan.
Soto isn’t going to break Ohtani’s contract! Ohtani has the ability to be a two for one deal! He can be an elite hitter while also being a very good pitcher. One their own each position would be worth $350M
Soto can’t be do that, he can only offer his elite offense. I personally see him getting somewhere around 13-15 years and around $500M MAYBE $600M if he has another outstanding year in 2024
Soto is 4 years removed from his prime, while Ohtani is in the middle of his prime at 28. Furthermore Ohtani's pitching is a bit of a question mark with him undergoing his second TJ surgery and not pitching in 2024. Don't expect Ohtani to ever have another season like he had in 2023 where he was premier both on the mound and at the plate. The reason Ohtani got the massive contract anyway was the deferred payment construction and the fact that half of Japan will be watching the Dodgers home games and buying the Ohtani merchandise. The reason Soto will be a harder sell is business not baseball.
And by the way, the deferred pay for Ohtani makes the value of the contract as of today, at a yearly inflationrate of 3%, about $420 million.
Traded twice and it becomes always lol
Yankee fans are sick of paltry batting averages and runners left on base galore. All he needs to do is bat .280+ and produce with runners on and all will be well.
He's been trades twice.
He’s coming back to DC so it’s ok
He's only been traded twice.
The dodgers are next….
He’s been in two trades, this is a misleading title
ALWAYS traded? he's been traded two whole times lol
He's the next Chris Burke.
What do you mean always? Making it sound like something that it’s not
If Hal has the Iron balls to offer Soto $580 mil over 14 years with some huge incentives the Yankees can extend Soto.
If, I am Soto I, first test the waters of 800 mil.
@@patricknoonan3610 No team is Brave enough to test waters that far ahead and Soto Unlike Otani can not offer the 2 way magic or the commercial benefits
I mean, it’s pretty simple. If he was willing to sign a long-term from contract he would never been traded in the first place.
Soto is always being traded? This is just dumb.
Head case.
C'mon. He obviously is just playing RTTS and wants to play on as many teams...
My guess is that Soto won't be that impressive as a Yankee. Sure, he'll walk a lot, punch a bunch of home runs, but his BA will not be in elite territory and the KOs will rise. Yanks may very well find the playoffs again, but chemistry could be an issue. Look at Stanton. Plus, he will be in a more vulnerable spot health wise. I could be wrong, but I won't be shocked if I'm right.
How do you come to that conclusion?
I'm guessing, like I said, but the Yuckees have bit of a tradition of acquiring players who don't live up to expectations. Stanton being of recent vintage. Do Chase Headley or Jacoby Elsbury ring bells? I know, older players and Soto does have his youth in his favor, but regardless......I will not be surprised by a disappointing year overall. Like I said, I could be wrong. The beauty of baseball...@@yanks2077
too bad ba doesnt really matter
@@ticnatz Juan Soto is still 25 and his body is way more durable than Stanton’s
Wait... how, exactly is Soto "in a more vulnerable spot health wise (sic)" right now compared to Stanton when he arrived in NY?
Do you have any inkling of any idea about the two players' health histories?
No defense.
He's getting traded because he wants Ohtani type of money LOL
That’s a 3
he ain’t got no natitude
A 13 yr for 445 mill wasn’t good enough for him.
Why is Juan Soto Always Getting Traded? Because there is a financial imbalance in the league and most teams can't afford to pay what the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, and Cubs can. Although the Cubs and Mets are usually too dumb or cheap to do it right anyway.
Well I hope he has an MVP season with NYY. Otherwise, they have no chance in 2024.
soto hasnt benefitted any team since he was in washington. players shouldnt get paid for what they already got paid to do. player contracts are for what they will do. players who played well on their first contracts dont deserve getting paid twice for the same thing. players dont make team sports great
What are you talking about? Any team? He's played for one team since Washington. Yeah Soto will be getting paid for what he will do.
It happens to some great generation players.
When will sports go back to team valued and player appreciation as part of a team ? Who cares about this .? Just trying to get content ? What is in your life helping others ?
Dude is about to be mid this yr
Nats and Padres are insanely cheap (or down right broke in SD's case) teams.
If Soto isn't in pinstripes for the long run, especially after they didn't have to pay 30 mil a season to Yamamoto, then I'll be both surprised and disappointed
Nats offer juan,soto more than 400 million
He's too good and too young, nobody wants to pay that bill. I expect him to mash in NY and get one of those contracts where you know the last few years will be crippling the day it's signed lol
"nobody wants to pay that bill"
Except the 3 teams who've already begged him to let them pay it? ... And all the other teams that were begged the Nats and then Padres to let them pay them in talent just for the chance to beg him to pay the cash bill?
Clubhouse Cancer???
He’s pretty matured, or so it seems.
Unfortunately he won't help us if Cashman won't get pitching. The Yankees traded away their entire pitching staff for Soto and now they don't have enough starters to make a rotation. Soto could go 4/4 with 4 HR in 162 straight and the Yankees as they're currently constructed will only win 60 of those games.
It’s not because he’s bad lol
