The Juan Soto Trade Is Already One Of The Most Lopsided Trades In MLB History And James Wood Hasn't Even Hit His First Of 600 Home Runs Yet
The word "fleeced" doesn't even begin to describe what happened here. Maybe we just use the word "National'd" from now on when a trade is so incredible lopsided that just 2 years later you look back ...
The Juan Soto Trade Is Already One Of The Most Lopsided Trades In MLB History And James Wood Hasn't Even Hit His First Of 600 Home Runs Yet
The word "fleeced" doesn't even begin to describe what happened here. Maybe we just use the word "National'd" from now on when a trade is so incredible lopsided that just 2 years later you look back and wonder how it even happened. The Padres traded an all-star team of prospects for 2 months and 1 season of Juan Soto.
CJ Abrams is only 23 years old and is one of the best shortstops in the game already. He could be an All Star this season and should end up with between 20-25 HRs.
Mackenzie Gore has been a roller coaster, but he's solidified himself as a rotation guy and is capable of fantastic outtings and should be around for a long time, as he's only 25 and hasn't even begun to peak.
Jarlin Susana is 6'6 and 20 years old throwing 100 MPH at Single A. Casual.
People were stunned Robert Hassell was also in the Soto deal, and he'll be in the majors in the next couple of years.
And then there is James Wood.
As if all those guys weren't enough, somehow the Padres also gave up 6'7, 235 pound James Wood. I mean the guy should be catching TDs in the NFL, but instead he's just mashing everything he sees, and will make his major league debut tomorrow.

Anyone remember the incident with Dusty Baker's son in the 2002 World Series?
It even resulted in a new MLB rule: The “Darren Baker Rule” was subsequently established, requiring that bat boys be at least 14 years old.
Well, Darren Baker is grown up now and got his first MLB hit:

Dusty Baker said he had to “play it cool” with his son, Darren, when he told the San Francisco Giants legend that he was preparing to be called up to the Major Leagues for the first time.
Why? Because Dusty Baker, now 75, retired and serving as a Giants special assistant, already knew.
That’s because Washington Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo, who was once his boss when he managed the Nats, called him ahead of time so Dusty Baker and his wife, Melissa could arrange to get back to Washington D.C. on Sunday for their son’s first game.
Darren wasn’t in the starting lineup, but when the Chicago Cubs had a 14-1 lead in the ninth inning, Nationals manager Dave Martinez — who succeeded Dusty Baker — put him in as a pinch-hitter.
And Darren did this.

The whirlwind call-up of Dusty Baker’s son, Darren, ended with a great moment and social media reaction from former Giants.
