Juan Soto is now a member of the New York Yankees, but some attempts were made to keep the star with the San Diego Padres for the long haul.
The Padres traded Soto to the Yankees in December.
Scott Boras, however, says that former Padres owner Peter Seidler had started to explore a multi-year deal with Soto last summer.
\"Peter called about wanting to pursue [Soto], and there were discussions about wanting to keep him. And unfortunately, it did not work out because of [Seidler\'s] health,\" Boras told Jon Heyman.
Seidler passed away in November at age 63.
