Dodgers News: Reported Asking Price For Juan Soto is Massive

Tired of hearing about Juan Soto yet? Well, get used to it, because he’s going to be all anyone can talk about for the next week. With the trade deadline less than 7 full days away, Dodgers fans are really going to hear a lot about the superstar outfielder.

But if they want to acquire him, the Dodgers are going to have to dig deep into their farm system. The asking price for Soto was just confirmed by The Athletic today, and it’s a heavy one. It might be enough to where Los Angeles doesn’t even consider it, but that remains to be seen.

The Nationals are apparently seeking 6 prospects in a deal for Soto. A deal could also include some big league talent with low service time. The Dodgers do have all of those things, and Brandon Gomes was right about a potential return package. It might be one of the greatest returns for a player of all time. 

“Now, clubs are scrambling to see what it might take to pry Soto loose. The Nationals are seeking six prospects, “plus,” a source confirmed to The Athletic. Big-league players with minimal service time could be on the table, too.”

That would likely mean the Dodgers would have to part ways with some incredible talent at the top of their farm system. Guys like Ryan Pepiot, Bobby Miller, Miguel Vargas, Andy Pages, and Michael Busch would all be on the table if they were to enter discussions. No word yet on if the Nats would want Diego Cartaya since they just traded for Keibert Ruiz last summer. 

Any combination of those guys with a few lower-level prospects would be insane. It would also put the Dodgers in a position where they would have to eventually restock the farm system. They’ve shown a willingness to move young players before, but is this time too much?
