No matter what happens in the remaining hours before the Major League Baseball trade deadline, it is highly doubtful anything could match the move made Tuesday morning when the Washington Nationals traded Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres for pitcher Mackenzie Gore, outfielder Robert Hassell and shortstop CJ Abrams and others.
This came one day after they traded for one of the top closers in the game, Josh Hader, with the Milwaukee Brewers.
In the process, the Padres odds to win the National League pennant and the World Series dropped dramatically.
In other words, if you didn’t take San Diego before the big move, you missed your chance at real value.
Here’s a look at the change in odds at Caesars Sportsbook from early Tuesday morning to lunch time after the Soto trade was made.
NL pennant
Before trade: +1000
After trade: +475
World Series
Before trade: +2200
After trade: +1000
