I’d trade like 7 of the top 10 for Soto.
But that’s only if they’re going to re-sign Judge in the off-season.
Let’s say they can’t get a deal for Judge and he goes elsewhere then it’s a bad trade. In the short term, you’re slightly better but gave away the ability to make trades necessary to sure up other places. The short term is all that matters 2,3,4 years. And Soto for the top prospects and then swapped for Judge in the off-season is a really bad move in the short term.
What I won’t include though for Soto is guys like Gleyber or Nestor. Which could be asks. I Especially wouldn’t include them in a mid-season move. Filling one hole by creating others.
