Did Chris Russo really compare the hushed free agency of Ohtani, a JAPANESE player, to the secret Atomic Bomb development?

Heyman: Only medicals and minor details to go on Juan Soto trade talks with the Padres and Yankees. The principles are telling folks they expect the deal done fairly soon. Once done, NYY will also get Trent Grisham in deal to back up their revamped starting OF of Soto, Judge and Verdugo.

Juan Soto trade agreement is being finalized now, source confirms.
The deal, as
@JackCurryYES
and
@Joelsherman1
reported, sends Soto and Trent Grisham to New York for Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Jhony Brito, Randy Vásquez, and Kyle Higashioka.
Get off my lawn!
Am I correct that NY gave SD a bit less for Soto than the Padres gave DC?
Not really close, imo. Granted I know very little about the Yanks farm.
Yankees didn't give up a single prospect/player close to the level of CJ Abrams at the time of that trade. And this trade is pitching heavy which carries a good bit of risk as we know. But it's still a good haul for SD for 1 year of Soto. Thorpe is likely the most valuable piece, depending on how you view King going forward. Thorpe is likely on par with AJSS in terms of value. Vasquez has some talent. Brito doesn't look like much of anything. The last gu isy is 33 and sucks.
