Pure speculation at this point but N’faly Dante from Oregon would be a home run big man for next year. We were recruiting him pretty hard originally too.
They may need to shed more than just Soto if they need that much $. Might be able to get a reliever like Barlow if you sweeten the Morel pot with a mid prospect or two.
Bruce Levine said that it may only take Morel to get Soto, which seems like a no-brainer. Padres really like Morel so even if it is Morel + a mid prospect you do that in a heartbeat
