Sure, Soto is better. He is a hell of a player and has the potential to go down as an all time great, and he’s also somehow still only 23.
The point wasn’t necessarily that they’re same player, it’s just young superstars, like Soto and Devers shouldn’t ever be traded/let go in free agency unless absolutely necessary. The fact there is even Soto trade rumors, granted who knows how true they are, is insane.
