📬 New Rockies Mailbag • Who's untouchable at MLB trade deadline • Chances of landing Juan Soto • Altitude and pitching • And more... via psaundersdp
Hi Patrick, I always enjoy your Rockies coverage. Is there any chance the Nationals would trade Juan Soto for Kris Bryant? The Nationals would get a former MVP who is tied up long-term for much less than they would have to pay Soto. The Rockies take the risk of re-signing Soto, but would have the money to do so. The Nationals can throw in left-hander Patrick Corbin, as they apparently want to do, and I would throw in a starting pitcher and a prospect or two.
Plus, there are other factors at work. For one thing, the Nationals’ farm system is pretty empty and needs to be restocked, but the Rockies don’t have enough talent in their own system to swing a trade for Soto. And you’re right, finding starters and relievers who can thrive at Coors Field is difficult. Plus, the so-called Coors Field hangover — where players struggle to hit on the road after mashing at home — is very real.
