Does Juan Soto solve the New York Yankees' problems? Deadspin's Andy Mills weighs in on the blockbuster trade sending San Diego Padres all star Juan Soto to the New York Yankees in the 2023 off season. Will joining Soto with Aaron Judge create the 1-2 punch the Yankees need to win the World Series in 2024? Andy isn't so sure.

Juan Soto might be the best hitter of his generation. In the past 53 years, only six players have accumulated more fWAR than Soto has before hitting age 25. They are Mike Trout, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Ken Griffey Jr, and Andruw Jones. All of them Hall of Famers except for Jones. And the other four are first-ballot. Even though Soto has another 10-15 years left in his career, he already walks with giants.
And yet, he’s been moved along twice. Treated like a burden twice. Only seen for what he can bring back twice, even though he won’t bring back anyone who’s nearly as good as he is. Teams can’t find another Juan Soto.
