For Juan Soto (a 25 year old stud), I’d allow the Padres could take literally any player on the farm. It doesn’t take that long to rebuild the farm team but Soto could put the team over the top.
It’s been 30 years since we’ve won a World Series and our current window is starting to close. You don’t win awards for a good farm system. The best minor league arms can turn to noodles and the best bats can flame out.
If the Padres are open to the move, the Jays would be absolutely stupid to protect their minor league team at the expense of picking up a monster player.
