Trade deadline preview: Juan Soto sweepstakes down to wire

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.

What sort of Juan Soto trade would be worth it?

The news that a Soto deal was possible propelled a daydream hypothetical out into the world as real, if not realistic, conversations. Between Tuesday’s All-Star Game and the Aug. 2 trade deadline, the question will be posted over and over: What could make trading Soto worth it? When players as good as Juan Soto have been dealt in recent years, they have never changed teams alone. Any Soto deal would almost inevitably begin with a team’s willingness to take on Corbin or Strasburg. So what would make a Soto trade worth it?
