ESPN's Buster Olney says three-time All-Star Juan Soto is "100 percent" going to be traded by the San Diego Padres this winter.
Soto is currently set to hit unrestricted free agency in 2025.
Olney said on The Michael Kay show Friday afternoon that Soto will "absolutely" be traded prior to the final year of his club-controlled contract.
