Analysts are pushing for a bold move: trade Soto to a setup role, freeing him from high-leverage closers and letting other arms shine in less stressful spots. Aroldis Chapman is one name being tossed around as a potential replacement closer — but time is running out. With the team at 41-42 and desperate to avoid a sweep, fixing this bullpen could be the difference between a lost season and a late-season surge.
