After the Yankees trade talks, Soto is still available for the Phillies.
What the Philadelphia Phillies will do with their remaining offseason is a subject of much conjecture. They could conceivably stick with their roster that has made back-to-back NLCS appearances because they have already achieved their top priority of bringing Aaron Nola back to the team. But since taking over the Phillies, Dave Dombrowski hasn’t done things that way. Rumor has it that they are still looking for rotational outfielders, bullpen support, and additional starting pitchers
There is a lot of speculation as to what the Philadelphia Phillies will do with their remaining offseason. With Aaron Nola back with the team, they have already accomplished their main goal, thus they might very well continue with the lineup that has made back-to-back NLCS appearances. However, that hasn’t been Dave Dombrowski’s approach since taking over the Phillies. There are rumors that they are still searching for starting pitchers, bullpen help, and rotating outfielders.
It will be difficult for San Diego to move him, and the Phillies won’t be interested, if that’s the kind of package they’re hoping to get back for a player who may only be a one-year rental before entering free agency at the end of the season. However, if the market remains sluggish, Philadelphia may be seeking for this opportunity to enter the trade talks in order to get Soto.
Though the paused talks with the Yankees might give them some time, there is currently no indication that Dombrowski and his front office have contacted the Padres to find out what kind of package they are hoping to acquire from the Phillies. When the Winter Meetings start on Sunday, expect the whispers about Soto to pick up steam.
