Hypothetical equivalent to the Padres haul?

[BrewCrew8675309]

From our farm system and roster, what would have been a equally weighted haul on what Padres received/Yankees offered to get Soto and Grisham?? Would it have been worth it to offer it and get the two former Padres? (apologies if this is the wrong sub-forum to query this)

All those pitchers have control and some upside.

I really like King, to me he is close to Freddy Peralta.

King=Peralta, Thorpe=Gasser/Rodriguez, Brito and Vasquez=Houser circa 2020, Higi=Between Henry and Caratini

It is possible the Pads got 2-5 starters, pairing them with Darvish and Musgrave should be a solid rotation. Especially with a couple of the young arms they have in their system.

King is good (70 ERA- | 73 FIP- last three years), but with only 219 IP over 90 relief appearances and 15 starts during that same stretch it will be a big risk trying to stretch him out to start full time if that is the Pads intention.

Steamer has him projected at 17 relief appearances and 23 starts totaling 144 IP and 2.1 WAR.

Peralta is already an established starter so Steamer projects hm for 29 GS totaling 165 IP and 3.3 WAR.

With that extra year of control Freddy projects for about 9 to 10 WAR versus about 4, maybe 5 or 6 WAR if he takes to bring a full time starter for two years of King.

Three cheap years of Freddy for one really expensive year of Soto would have been a huge overpay.

Honestly to the Padres, the most important thing is they won't have to fill out a bunch more IOUs for having to pay whatever Soto's 2024 salary will come to in arbitration had they not traded him.
