Washington would be a fantastic trade partner. They've got a need, obviously identified by the injury to Ramos, and a deep farm system. Although Soto's been horrific this year, he's still a young catcher who's not due to come a free agent until 2014. His '08 and '10 seasons show that he is capable of being a productive catcher.
I still feel the only potential trade chip we have that could land us a top tier prospect would be Matt Garza, but Soto could still net two mid-ceiling guys. We can only hope that Soto's play can improve so he becomes a bit more attractive once the trade deadline nears.
