Padres Notes: Soto Trade Talk, Bob Melvin Addresses Unexpected Exit

Could the Yankees push San Diego to trade Soto?

One major question facing the Padres in the offseason will be whether or not to deal Juan Soto for what would likely be a massive return as the young slugger enters a contract year.

With several players on expensive long-term contracts, it remains to be seen if the Padres would seek to extend Soto, whose talent demands a top-dollar contract. 

In other news, former Padres manager addressed his decision to head up north and become the next manager of the San Francisco Giants.
