Juan Soto, now a New York Met, was originally signed by the Washington Nationals and traded to the San Diego Padres in 2021 for a significant package including pitchers MacKenzie Gore and Jarlin Susana, shortstop CJ Abrams, and outfield prospects Robert Hassell III and James Wood. The Nationals have benefited from the trade, highlighted during their recent 8-7 walk-off victory over the Atlanta Braves, where Abrams, Hassell, and Wood combined for six runs, with Hassell scoring the winning run in extra innings. This performance exemplifies the success of the Soto trade for Washington.
