Juan Soto rumors: 5 monstrous trade packages to land the Padres star

5) Juan Soto rumors: A monster trade package from the Milwaukee Brewers

As badly as the Minnesota Twins could use some power, the Milwaukee Brewers remain a competitive team with a beleaguered offense. Christian Yelich is actually hitting well but the same cannot be said of his teammates. Soto could shift back to right field in Milwaukee if he became a successful target of the Brewers.

Odds are stacked against the typically frugal, small market Brewers making any sort of trade for Soto. If they surprised us all, this is the kind of trade offer to make.

This might be the best of the five trade packages if the Padres are happy getting prospects. Although the Brewers hold onto their number one prospect, Jackson Chourio, they give up two, three, and four.

Outfielder Sal Frelick is 17th in MLB, catcher Jeferson Quero is 74th, and pitcher Jacob Misiorowski is 87th. Three top 100 prospects plus Garrett Mitchell, a currently injured outfielder with some MLB experience. In this kind of deal, the Padres should add in Ha-Seong Kim along with it.

The Brewers are a much better team after this trade and finally have what feels like a more complete starting lineup. Hitting has been a problem for them. The only concern here is that if they don’t win the 2023 World Series is how much it’ll set them back.

Milwaukee needs to go after a championship right now while they still have a pitcher like Corbin Burnes at the top of the rotation. They might not have the same output from their pitching this season as they have in previous years. A player like Soto, with support from Kim, can help.
