Padres working to try and extend slugger Juan Soto

The San Diego Padres sure are building something special, as the NL West club is loaded with an insane amount of talent. After working out a deal with star Manny Machado, could the front office be ready to spend big elsewhere?

It's looking that way. According to a report, the Padres also have plans to try and extend lefty slugger Juan Soto, easily one of the most exciting young talents in the game.

Amazing Padres will try to extend Soto and Hader next. Here’s reax from both stars plus Soto agent Scott Boras, who praises the Pads for trying to go long with a 4th positional superstar to assemble what he called “Mt. Crushmore.”https://t.co/DOlrQg0vPr

From the moment San Diego traded for Soto, fans have welcomed him with open arms. The plan is to keep him in town for the long haul. We'll see if something gets done in the near future here, but things sure are looking positive.
