Juan Soto Trade Rumors: Dodgers, Padres, Cardinals Seen as Finalists for Nationals OF

The MLB trade deadline is fast approaching, and the Washington Nationals star Juan Soto is getting a lot of interest.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres and St. LouisCardinals are the three teams that are in the running to land the catcher. The teams have a few hours left to play. To get a deal done.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Texas Rangers have been in the running for a long time.

The Padres offer the most talent from their farm system, while theCardinals offer the most talent from their major league roster. The Nationals are said to be looking for a large package of young prospects.

The Padres were thought to be the front-runner to acquire the young outfielder. The Padres have a good selection of young players, including their top two prospects, center fielder Robert Hassell III and catcher Luis Campusano.

It remains to be seen if the Nationals will part ways with Soto, who has been in a slump, if the Dodgers andCardinals have enough young talent to make a trade happen.

Entering Sunday, the two-time All-Star was batting.246 with 20 home runs and 45RBI. He has just five hits in 35 plate appearances since he returned from the All-Star break.

One of the best young players in the majors, Soto will turn whichever team he lands with into an instant contender to represent the National League in the World Series.
