Of course not...all players are worth more if they aren't a rental. But they didn't trade much for him. -

There is no weird bias. I am just not looking at one season. I don't have any strong feelings about Gregory Soto. I just don't trust Akin. Akin is fine, he will be cheap enough in 2025 but he hasn't shown the high leverage upside that Soto has shown and that is what I am valuing in this discussion. If we can go out and get better relievers than both of them, so be it...im good with that but 1/6 is a cheap contract for a reliever with his upside. -
Soto would have been the same price in terms of prospects if he was a rental? -

In 2024, yes. I am not just talking about one season though. Soto has a career WPA of 1.45. Akin is -2.00. To put that in perspective, of the relievers who qualified this year, only 2 reliever would have had a worse WPA than Akin..one of them was Kimbrel. So, in his career, he has been basically what Kimbrel was this year in WPA. Soto would have been top 40 this year.
