The San Diego Padres traded Juan Soto to the New York Yankees on Wednesday, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jeff Passan, marking the second trade in less than a year and a half for the 25-year-old outfielder who has established himself as one of this era's most gifted hitters.

The trade was first reported by the New York Post.

The Yankees went into the offseason in search of two everyday left-handed-hitting outfielders and acquired both this week.
