A lesson as always, commenters on reddit know less than nothing. Always assume the opposite.
R/2Ledge_It nailed it « You guys really don’t get how amazing that package is. Top 5 prospects are 60m in value. Gore/Abrams have been that and have 5 years of control. Wood is probably going to be a top 5 prospect next year. His ceiling and performance is better than Hassell who people see as a 20/20 .280/.360/.440 OFer and is already a top 30 prospect. Jarlin Susana is an 18 year old that throws 100 and has the frame to maintain it. He could easily be fast tracked to the majors by 2024. »
Important to note that a lot of those comments are from before MacKenzie Gore was reported to be in the trade. Morosi’s original report was incorrect (shocking, I know).
But I do think baseball fans on the internet tend to run into this problem every trade deadline, where they read reports from the middle of the winter and don’t realize they are outdated. I recall the actual prospect writers saying this was a great return for Soto at the time.
A similar thing happened when Soto was traded this year. A lot of the initial comments online were that the return was light because the Padres did not get back a single top 100 prospect. But the reality was Drew Thorpe was a consensus top 100 prospect, the reports just hadn’t come out yet.
Remember when Eric Hosmer almost torpedoed this?

It’s healthy to be skeptical about public kneejerk opinions, but I think that people still acted that way because a team traded AWAY Juan Soto. After he had won a ring with them.
Just like how Mike Petriello said that the Yankees could not have really overpaid for Juan Soto because « IT’S JUAN SOTO! »,
