I don't think the entire off-season hinges on signing Juan Soto.
Actually I figured they were only in it because he was interested in them
He’s basically a LF and they got Duran
CF & RF in a very good spot (Rafaela, Abreu, Anthony)
personally my plan
1. Go after Soto if he said I’ll sign with you all things equal
But
2. I would have not figured we had even a punchers chance and gone after
Willy Adames
Bieber
One of Burnes or Fried and if no luck: Sean Manaea
That we are in the Soto stuff is kind of crazy but hey it’s interesting
