<p>Needless to say, the<strong> National League</strong> is expected to be a bloodbath once again. Teams like the<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres</strong> will once again battle to the death for a <strong>World Series </strong>berth.</p>
<p>With the <strong>2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/MLB-Opening-Day-2023-Why-is-Bryce-Harper-not-playing-for-Phillies-vs-Rangers-20230330-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a></strong> season already underway, let’s take a look at the top three candidates<strong> to win MVP in the National League</strong>. Notably, you might not be all that surprised ny these names.</p>
<h2>MLB 2023: Top 3 NL MVP Candidates</h2>
<h3>3. Ronald Acuña Jr.</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230331_BUS_217820_ronald_acuxa_jr.jpg_22993414_efb89d9e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Ronald Acuña Jr. — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Ronald Acuña Jr.</strong> didn’t have the best season in 2022, and he faced some off-season criticism for his performance at the World Baseball Classic. But he’s one of the most versatile and impactful players in the game.</p>
<p>The <strong>Atlanta Braves </strong>are expected to be a strong candidate out of the National League again, and they’ll need their young star to be at his best to go the distance. He’s finally healthy, so there’s no more room for excuses.</p>
<h3>2. Mookie Betts</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230331_BUS_217820_mookie_betts.jpg_22993414_1199a835.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Mookie Betts — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Mookie Betts</strong> will continue to be an MVP candidate for as long as he’s healthy and playing. He’s an elite outfielder and a guy who can hit for both power and contact with an outstanding ability to get on base.</p>
<p>Betts is the leader and best player in arguably the best team in baseball. Despite some tough losses in the offseason, the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> will continue to be the team to beat until proven otherwise.</p>
<h3>1. Juan Soto</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230331_BUS_217820_juan_soto_x1x.jpg_22993414_dc750b97.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Juan Soto — Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> San Diego Padres</strong> made one of the biggest— if not the biggest— transactions in franchise history when they traded for<strong> Juan Soto</strong> last season. Now, it’s time they finally live up to the expectations.</p>
<p>Soto is one of the best sluggers in the league, and perhaps the only player who could record <strong>an OBP of .500</strong> in today’s game. The Padres need to get over the hump once and for all, and he might as well be the guy who can take them the distance.</p>

They traded multiple prospects in return for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-many-home-runs-were-hit-in-the-2022-mlb-home-run-derby-20220719-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Washington Nationals’</strong></a> superstar <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-trade-rumors-the-only-realistic-destinations-for-juan-soto-20220718-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Juan Soto</strong></a>, as well as first baseman <strong>Josh Bell.</strong></p>
<p>The Padres have now added two of the best hitters in the league in one of the boldest power moves one could think of. Regardless of their record, that puts them as the team to beat in the National League,<strong> even ahead of the Dodgers.</strong></p>
<p>Needless to say, they had to meet a steep price to land the <strong>23-year-old lefty</strong>. Also, it’s likely that Soto has already reached a verbal agreement with them on a potential contract extension <strong>after turning down <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dark-horse-destinations-for-juan-soto-20220722-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a 15-year, $440 million contract.</a></strong></p>
<h2>Padres Trade For Juan Soto: Funniest Memes And Reactions</h2>
<p>The Washington Nationals got perhaps the best package they could’ve gotten for their wantaway slugger. The Padres sent<strong> SS C.J. Abrams, LHP MacKenzie Gore, 1B Eric Hosmer, OF Robert Hassell III (Padres’ No. 1 prospect/No. 21 overall), OF James Wood (Padres’ No. 3/No. 88 overall), RHP Jarlin Susana (Padres’ No. 14).</strong></p>
<p>As expected, this huge move prompted plenty of reactions on social media. Some are scared of the Padres, and some are still skeptical, but e<strong>verybody had something to say about this power move from the Friars:</strong></p>

<p>Soto is touted as the best young hitter in the world and<strong> a generational talent. </strong>The Padres were craving help in the outfield and had a deep-enough farm system and rotation to deal with the losses of the jewels they had to give up.</p>
<p>They will now have two of the most electric players in Soto and<strong> Fernando Tatis Jr.,</strong> putting together a contending team for years to come. Also, that would be more than enough to convince <strong>Manny Machado</strong> to sign another contract.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/what-did-trevor-bauer-do-heres-why-mlb-suspended-the-dodgers-star-20220429-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong></a> don’t need more help. They’re stacked with talent at every position and rank first in several categories in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dark-horse-destinations-for-juan-soto-20220722-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Baseball</a>.</strong> But when it’s <strong>World Series-or-bust,</strong> you never leave anything to chance.</p>
<p><strong>Dave Roberts’</strong> team will look to get even better ahead of the trade deadline. They’ve shown that money will never be an issue and have a deep farm system to make any deal a real possibility.</p>
<p>While they don’t have any glaring needs, they could use another arm for their rotation and a closer, primarilydue to their injuries. Also, you can never count them out when a star becomes available. So here, we discuss<strong> three <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-xander-bogaerts-and-red-sox-stars-that-could-get-traded-20220722-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trade deadline</a> targets for the West Coast’s finest.</strong></p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: 3 Players Dodgers Could Target At The Trade Deadline</h2>
<h3>3. Juan Soto</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220728_BUS_196523_juan_soto.jpg_22993414_75faa529.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Juan Soto   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> St. Louis Cardinals</strong> are reportedly leading the race for <strong>Juan Soto</strong>, but the Dodgers can one-up nearly every offer. They’ve never hesitated to add superstars, and locking him up for the next 15+ years is surely an appealing proposition.</p>
<p>Analysts believe the <strong>Washington Nationals </strong>could trade the 23-year-old before the deadline if someone makes a Godfather-like offer, and you know they’ll be on the phone trying to get a deal done.</p>
<h3>2. Luis Castillo</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220728_BUS_196523_luis_castillo.jpg_22993414_845d202e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Luis Castillo   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>New York Yankees</strong> are keeping tabs on <strong>Luis Castillo, </strong>but the Dodgers were also in the mix. He’s turned back the clock and is having a bounce-back year after last season’s subpar first half, and he’s the best pitcher available.</p>
<p>The Dodgers have been without <strong>Andrew Heaney, Dustin May, and Walker Buehler </strong>for most of the season. <strong>Clayton Kershaw</strong> has struggled with injuries, and <strong>Trevor Bauer </strong>may never pitch again, so this makes sense.</p>
<h3>1. David Robertson</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220728_BUS_196523_david_robertson.jpg_22993414_055ef6fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    David Robertson   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Chicago Cubs </strong>are going nowhere and will part ways with most of their veterans. The Dodgers should make the most of that fire sale and try to get <strong>David Robertson</strong>, one of the best closers in the Majors this season.</p>
<p>Robertson is on a team-friendly deal, so it’s not like they’d have to give up a lot to get him. <strong>Blake Treinen</strong> has been hurt, and<strong> Craig Kimbrel</strong> is on the backend of his career, so he’d be an instant upgrade at their position of most significantneed.</p>

<p>There’s no denying that Soto is a unique talent. All teams would die to have a player like him to build around for the next 15+ years, and that’s why he believes he could get <strong>even more money in the open market.</strong></p>
<p>Needless to say, the usual suspects like<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/aaronjudge-opens-the-door-to-a-possible-exit-from-the-new-york-yankees-20220719-0044.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a>, Los Angeles Dodgersand Boston Red Sox </strong>have already been tied to the Dominican. But what about those teams flying under the radar? Let’s talk about them.</p>

<p>The <strong>San Diego Padres</strong> have been actively looking for outfield help and a lefty, and Soto checks all the boxes. They want to keep up with the Dodgers in the NL Westand have proven that they won’t mind breaking the bank to lure more talent to Petco Park.</p>
<p>The Padres have plenty of appealing prospects and could even add young star <strong>MacKenzie Gore </strong>to any potential trade. They wouldn’t need to extend Soto right away, and he’d sure love to team up with fellow Dominican star <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr. </strong>for years to come.</p>
<h3>2. Toronto Blue Jays</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Toronto Blue Jays made plenty of moves in the offseason because they believe they can compete right away. And even thoughthose moves haven’t paid off thus far, they still have a promising, up-and-coming roster that can be a perennial World Series contender.</p>
<p>Adding Soto to an offense also featuring<strong> Vladimir Guerrero Jr. andBo Bichette </strong>will make them a team to look up for years to come. They need a left-handed hitter and could send away <strong>Lourdes Gurriel, Teoscar Hernandez,</strong> and multiple prospects to get him.</p>
<h3>1. Seattle Mariners</h3>

<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Seattle Mariners </strong>have put together a promising squad, with young star Julio Rodriguez showing glimpses of greatness already. They have a young starting rotation and are way ahead of schedule in terms of their rebuild.</p>
<p>The Mariners want to put an end to their postseason drought and have plenty of cash to spare to extend Soto. Also, they could offer the best trade package centered around<strong> Kyle Lewis,George Kirby, </strong>and maybe even<strong>Jarred Kelenic.</strong></p>

For the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-mets-legend-keith-hernandez-unexpected-confession-on-his-emotional-retirement-number-20220709-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mets</a> help could be coming their way as according to reports <strong>J<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-many-home-runs-were-hit-in-the-2022-mlb-home-run-derby-20220719-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uan Soto</a> </strong>is of interest.</p>
<p>Soto recently turned down a 15-year, $440 million extension offer with the Nationals and while the Mets are searching for some added punch to take them to the finish line, <strong>cross town rival New York Yankees are also in on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-trade-rumors-the-only-realistic-destinations-for-juan-soto-20220718-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Juan Soto</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Juan Soto is at 20 home runs, 43 RBIs, and 78 hits on the season</strong> and would not come cheap. According to Esiason he expects the deal to reach the finish line.</p>
<h2>Boomer Esiason on Mets Juan Soto trade</h2>
<p>On the Boomer and Gio podcast, Esiason had this to say on the Juan Soto matter: <em>“I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me – Aug. 2 is the trade deadline – Juan Soto was a Met,”</em> Boomer said.</p>
<p>The reason Esiason is so sure of the trade is because Mets owner Steve Cohen has not been shy to spend the big bucks, <em><strong>“(Cohen) overall aggressiveness and everything he has done and everything he has tried to build upon, and the reputation he has already built in the short time that he’s owned the team,”</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Juan Soto</strong> continues to make strides in The Big Show. While not considered an elite defender, his outs above average prove that he’s way better than most people think. Still, there’s no doubt that his swing is his biggest trait.</p>
<p>Soto is already one of the most feared and respected sluggers in the league. He was barely old enough to drink when he led the<strong> Washington Nationals</strong> to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title a couple of years ago.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>While some may consider him disrespectful,<strong> Ronald Acuña Jr </strong>is one of the few players that’s making baseball fun to watch again. He’s fierce, relentless, and it seems like he’s always on the verge of making the highlights.</p>
<p>It’s hard to put into words just how good Acuña Jr can be. He’s improved on every aspect of his game on a yearly basis and is one of the most athletic players out there. He’ll be<strong> an MVP candidate</strong> for years to come.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>How many players can brag about playing a huge role in a World Series championship? Well, <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong> definitely can. In fact, most people find it hard to believe that he’s just 25 years old considering how good he’s been for some years now.</p>
<p>Not only Bellinger is one of the best defenders in his position while also giving the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Dodgers</a> a lot of versatility due to his ability to play at the first base as well. He’s also a power hitter and <strong>there aren’t any kinds of flaws in his game.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Shane Bieber</strong> had already put the world on notice during his 2019 campaign but he definitely took it up a notch in the shortened season, taking home the American League Cy Young award.</p>
<p>The Cleveland Indians star has one of the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the Majors and his four-pitch repertoire maked him just impossible to read for the average hitter. Also, he’s shown his durability with<strong> multiple complete games and shutouts.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr</strong> has to be at the top of this list following his outstanding campaign in 2020. He’s the most entertaining player to watch in all baseball right now and his upside seems unlimited.</p>
<p>Tatis Jr significantly improved his defense while being one of the best offensive players in the world as well. He was an MVP candidate for most of last year and it’s only getting started, and that’s why the San Diego Padres tied him up with a <strong>massive contract extension.</strong></p>

The best MLB players 25 or under ahead of the 2021 season - Bolavip US

<p>It didn’t take long before <strong>Juan Soto</strong> put <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a> on notice. He was a bit of a late bloomer during his rookie year but once he took off, he never looked back. Today, the 21-year-old is already the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/washington-nationals-t110374" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Nationals’</a> </strong>superstar.</p>
<p>Subbing in as an occasional player, Soto climbed his way to the everyday lineup and finished in 2nd in the Rookie of the Year voting, as well as ending as a <strong>top-10 MVP</strong> candidate before <strong>winning his first <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series.</a></strong></p>
<p>Juan Soto can do it like the best sluggers in the history of baseball. His numbers through his <strong>first 300 career games</strong> are just a minor proof of what he’s capable of doing and the sky seems to be the limit for him right now.</p>

<h2>Numbers Show Juan Soto Is Already Ahead Of Mike Trout And Bryce Harper</h2>
<p>As a matter of fact, the stats through his first 300 career games a<strong>lready have him ahead of two of the best in the game</strong> like former Nationals<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/bryce-harper-t139627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bryce Harper</a> </strong>and 3-time American League MVP <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mike-trout-t142524" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Trout</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Thus far, Juan Soto has posted a <strong>.294 batting average with 67 home runs, 211 runs batted in, and an OPS of .966.</strong> Trout topped him in the average category with <strong>.316 but fell short with 56 home runs, 177 RBIs, and .948 OPS</strong>, while Harper had <strong>.269 ba, 45 dingers, 129 RBIs, and .818 OPS.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Moreover, and even though that doesn’t come from an individual effort, Soto can brag about something neither of those players can — and that’s not likely to change any time soon: having <strong>a World Series ring.</strong></p>
<p>Obviously, it’s still too early on his career and a lot of things could happen but as of today, Juan Soto isn’t the future of baseball, he’s already a reality, and <strong>will be a perennial MVP candidate as longas he’s healthy.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>The Nationals miserably failed to defend their crown this season but Soto is definitely not to blame with a slash line of <strong>.342/.470/.708 with 11 deep flys, 31 RBIs, and 3 stolen bases in 120 at-bats.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Fernando Tatís Jr and Juan Soto</strong> have taken <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Major League Baseball</strong></a> for assault since day one. The first is already making a case for being the best player on earth, while the latter is already a <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series </strong></a>champion and one of the most respected sluggers in the league.</p>
<p>Sotois single-handedly carrying the offensive load for the defending champions Washington Nationals, who have struggled to replicate last season’s success <strong>through the first half of this shortened campaign.</strong></p>
<p>Tatís jr, on the other hand, sits atop of most National League MVP rankings right now and the <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/san-diego-padres-t125466" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Diego Padres</a> </strong>went all-in ahead<strong> </strong>of the trade deadline<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mike-clevinger-trade-padres-give-fernando-tatis-jr-all-he-needs-to-win-the-world-series-20200831-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> to get him as much help as he needs</strong> </a>to make it back to the World Series.</p>

<h2>Fernando Tatís Jr Says Him Or Juan Soto Will Win The NL MVP</h2>
<p>That’s why Juan Soto took it to an <a href="https://www.mlb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLB</a> post on Instagram to acknowledge his compatriot’s efforts by commenting<strong> MVP! MVP! MVP! </strong>Needless to say, the comment didn’t go unnoticed by the Padres’ star.</p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p><em>“My boy!<strong> We’re going tofinish 1st and 2nd on the MVP race</strong> (No matter who’s first). As long as it stays in our country I’m happy. Keeping the faith in God,” </em>Tatís Jr replied on Soto’s comment on the Instagram post.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>The future is bright for the Dominican Republic. They have plenty of world-class superstars that are far from their peak, with Fernando Tatís Jr and Juan Soto clearly leading the race <strong>with Vladimir Guerrero Jr also stealing a lot of headlines.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>Both Tatís Jr and Soto have strong arguments to take the award back to the Dominican Republic this season, slashing <strong>.313/.395./.660 with a league-leading 13 home runs and 33 RBIs (Tatís)</strong>, and<strong>.367/.452 /.800 with 11 homers (Soto)</strong>so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them finishing 1-2 in the MVP voting this year.</p>
