The actual value of the card is often missing in these discussions. A $250 listing "on sale" for $200 is hardly a deal if the market value is closer to $75. An offer of $70 wouldn't be a low ball...

It's a very peculiar situation for SD. On the one hand they gave up a haul to get Soto and need to let it play out. On the other hand, they'll have egg all over their face if they miss again in '24...

San Diego may or may not be the ideal long term situation offensively, but I don't know that having Soto in a 3rd uniform at the age of 25 is an ideal situation either.
