MLB’s most chaotic week of the year is in mid-stride. The trade deadline is Tuesday, August 2nd, and the stove has been chiefly lukewarm, with moments of parboiling. The Dodgers have been in pursuit of many helpful pieces, but everybody knows which name we’re all obsessing over. The Washington Nationals superstar,
Juan Soto, is the most prized and coveted trade deadline piece. There have been an uncountable number of rumors, whispers, speculation, and conjecture over where Soto is going or if he’s going anywhere at all. According to Bob Nightengale, as of Monday, there is one team leading the charge for a Soto acquisition with the Dodgers in near pursuit.
