Deadline-day blockbuster: Padres reportedly deal for superstar Juan Soto, Josh Bell

The San Diego Padres have agreed to acquire superstar outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.

The move comes one day after the Padres landed all-star closer Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers for left-hander Taylor Rogers, right-hander Dinelson Lamet and two prospects — southpaw Robert Gasser and outfielder Esteury Ruiz.

The Nationals are set to receive left-hander MacKenzie Gore, outfielder Robert Hassell III, shortstop C.J. Abrams, outfielder James Wood, right-hander Jarlin Susana and veteran major league first baseman Eric Hosmer in the deal. However, the Nationals are on Hosmer's no-trade list and he would have approve of a move to Washington.

The 29-year-old Lopez is in the middle of a breakout season, with a sparkling 1.68 earned-run average and 19 of his 20 career saves. He joins a Twins team that had a 3.84 relief ERA entering the game against Detroit on Tuesday night, with Jhoan Duran the lone
