Stanton's year before being traded was better than Soto's recent year.   That being said Stanton also had more up and down's and less demonstrated value over his career in prior seasons than Soto (despite being older)

Miami probably got max value due to the timing of when they traded Stanton - and Padres arguably the opposite as Soto has had better years than 2023 and because of contract.

I think King can be more than a mid rotation starter (could be less as well) but he is also almost 29 when next season starts-- he almost took away the Jays playoff homes with how he did in his 2 starts against us.   Sort of reminds me of a guy like Jeff Fassero who was a reliever with good stuff that hit it off as a starter once given the opportunity later in his career and was a good starter for about 5 or 6 years..   The issue with King is even if he pitches real well the next 2 years, then you are in the unenviable position of having to sign a long term contract to a pitcher who is hitting free agency for the first time at nearly 31 years old.
