MAILBAG! Were the St. Louis Cardinals right to not trade Jordan Walker for new San Diego Padre Juan Soto?

On today's Mailbag Monday, we're taking listener questions. Travis asked about the St. Louis Cardinals not making the deal with the Washington Nationals for Juan Soto, and if it was the right decision in the long run. Also, is Jordan Walker, the top prospect they reportedly didn't want to part with to get Soto, really THAT good? Alex asked about 3B Deyvison De Los Santos of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and what his ceiling is for Arizona, as well as if there's any impact arms in this system that could debut as early as next year. Finally, Jason asked if we'd explain how the 26-man and 40-man rosters worked, as well as how the Rule 5 draft is structured (and why it was discussed at the trade deadline when explaining the New York Yankees moves) Find and follow LockedOn MLB Prospects on your favorite podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-mlb-prospects/id1525225214 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wzJIf26tGgVbB7rsoKyLD Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/locked-on-mlb-prospects Follow along with LockedOn MLB Prospects host Lindsay Crosby as we follow 120+ affiliated teams throughout the 2022 season!
