For as much as Yankees fans supposedly hate Cashman, the general tone around the internet seems to be that he's crazy for hugging King from everyone except Yankees fans.

A 28 year old pitcher who reaches free agency in 2026 should not be the dealbreaker that stops you from getting Juan Soto, an all-world 25 year old left handed hitter.

Depending on what the rest of the deal is I don't care about dealing King But if it's something stupid where King is the only meaningful piece then it's just Cashman being Danny Ainge again

I also don't think King gets beyond ~130-140 innings next year. Dude hasn't thrown over 100 innings since 2018.

And since the Blue Jays are a finalist for Ohtani (supposedly), they'll have the money to re-sign Soto. Good for them.

i think that deal would hurt too much because it would basically devastate all of NY's SP insurance along with the loss of prospects like Dominguez and Thorpe. Do I think King is untouchable? No. Do I think King is a guaranteed 200 IP quality starter? No. But losing him, Brito, Vasquez, and Thorpe would leave the SP with Cole, Rodan, Cortes, and Schmidt. Even adding Yamamoto and maybe someone else still leaves that looking very thin. King and Co aren't locks or massive pieces but they're depth and insurance and losing all of that PLUS Dominguez feels like a lot for a rental who plays lovely defense. Soto is of course Soto and if this were 2 years or if the Yankees had a little less frigidity at the DH/OF defense or more SP stability I'd feel a little more ok with it. But situationally for the Yankees it feels like a lot to give up for an uncertain long term return. See "too much" is a relative term. A team with more resources can afford to give up more without being hit as hard. I've heard "this trade should hurt" a lot from the baseball media but you still have to evaluate how and where it hurts and make sure you're not just creating more problems or holes. I don't know if Soto would be worth all of that. It certainly is possible. But it feels like a lot even if its not like blow away prospect package.

There was an article in The Athletic yesterday about the Padres and Preller is directly quoted saying he's open to lower-level prospects. I get the impression that the problem is that the Yankees don't have the pieces to get a deal done so Preller is asking for quantity as a result.
