The San Diego Padres landed superstar outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell in a trade with the Washington Nationals, sending Twitter into a frenzy.

With Soto going back to the Padres in perhaps the biggest trade deadline deal of the decade, social media was not ready.

There was no fair return for the Nats, who are perhaps giving up the next Ted Williams and more. Soto is just 23 years old and entering his prime. He’s already won a World Series and made multiple All-Star teams. He’s perhaps a future face of the league, who is now on a team littered with potential faces of baseball.

The Pads are a superteam — arguably good enough to rival the Dodgers, finally — and are only getting better.

The Soto trade is enough to shake baseball to its core, and there’s much more coming on MLB trade deadline day.

Baseball twitter ran out of words to describe the Soto trade, so instead the opted to use moving pictures.

There were many more where that came from.

Soto has been informed he was traded to San Diego, meaning the deal is essentially completed.

In the trade, the Padres also acquire Josh Bell, which means they have another impact bat to add to their lineup. The rich get even richer.

AJ Preller went for it all and struck gold.
