Juan Soto's Historic Campaign
Soto joins Yelich, Thome, Hornsby, and more on this prestigious list
Yesterday, Juan Soto hit the game-winning home run for the New York Yankees in the 9th inning against the San Francisco Giants. The Yankees sit at 42-19, the best record in baseball, and Soto sits with the 2nd best OPS (1.031) on the team. His impact got us thinking about some of the most successful trades in MLB history.
Soto joins just 11 other players who were traded in the offseason and post an OPS 1.000 or better the next season.
Yes, this isn’t a *final* list given that Soto has not finished his 2024 season, but he is in some prestigious company 61 games into the Yankees season.
