PHILADELPHIA — (AP) — The San Diego Padres will head into the offseason with a whole bunch of what-ifs?

Juan Soto has arrived at Petco Park promising to bring “good vibes” to the San Diego Padres and issuing a warning to opposing teams.

But overall, this is a positive change for the 29-year-old’s fantasy value. True to form, the 33-year-old has an unimpressive .643 OPS this year but has saved his fantasy value by swiping 15 bases. 1 catcher but is unlikely to keep the heavy workload he had in Boston and therefore loses some fantasy value from this trade. Thor has been mostly a league-average pitcher in fantasy leagues during recent seasons, posting respectable ratios and a poor strikeout rate this year. For this reason, I see this trade as a slight downturn in Syndergaard's fantasy value.

Juan Soto is set for his San Diego debut at home Wednesday night against Colorado.

This is quite a time to be a season ticket holder for the San Diego Padres.

When Juan Soto turned down a $440 million, 15-year deal to stay with the Washington Nationals, it ensured Tuesday’s trade deadline would have a little juice.
