Soto with the Nationals in 2020

... that the 2022 trade of Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals to the San Diego Padres is often compared to the Herschel Walker trade in the NFL?

This article, created on 6 Feb, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. QPQ not needed. No copyvio issues. Hi @TBJ10RH: by WP:DYKHOOK, a hook has to be interesting to a broad audience, but the hook above is only interesting to someone who knows about the Walker trade. Did you have another hook in mind? Tenpop421 (talk) 21:06, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tenpop, I had another hook: ALT1: ... that before his blockbuster trade, Juan Soto rejected a 15-year, $440 million contract extension, the largest potential deal in sports history at the time? TBJ10RH (talk) 21:15, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks TBJ10RH, that looks interesting. I would want to modify it a little so it hews closer to the article:

ALT1b: ... that before his blockbuster trade, Juan Soto rejected a 15-year, $440 million contract extension, which would have been the largest deal in Major League Baseball history at the time?

This hook is short enough, in the article, cited, and verified here. GTG. Tenpop421 (talk) 21:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tenpop, looks great to me. You may review it whenever you are free. TBJ10RH (talk) 21:31, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
