You know Soto is only 2 years older than him, right? The extra time the Yanks get to spoil Soto in hopes that he would want to come back is worth it to me.

Attached are the offensive production leaders through their age 24 seasons. Can you count how many HoF members Soto is surrounded by?

The only guys ahead of them that are NOT currently in the HoF are Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, and Shoeless Joe Jackson. Two of those guys will be 1st ballot HoF one day, the other probably should be. In conclusion, if Juan Soto does NOT end up in the HoF he would be the biggest bust of all time. And we dont want to give up Spencer Jones even if it is for just a year? Make it make sense.
