Juan Soto trade

The Juan Soto trade was a blockbuster sports trade between the Washington Nationals, and San Diego Padres of the Major League Baseball (MLB) made on August 2, 2022. The centerpiece was Nationals outfielder Juan Soto, regarded as one of the best hitters of this generation. The magnitude of this transaction drew comparisons to the Herschel Walker trade in the NFL for its 8-player trade. Originally regarded as an overwhelming success for the Padres, it has now became one of the most lopsided trades in MLB history with many coming to a consensus that the Nationals easily won the trade. However, the Soto trade created a domino effect after the Padres shipped Soto off to the New York Yankees during the 2024 MLB Offseason.
