As the MLB offseason heats up, a clearer picture is being painted of what a potential deal to bring San Diego Padres superstar Juan Soto to The Bronx could look like. 

Soto, 25, and the Padres could be on their way toward a separation, and the Yankees have been linked as a possible landing spot for the slugging outfielder.

In fact, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported during his Bleacher Report show on Wednesday that the Yankees and Padres have talked about Soto, and names have been thrown around. 

Among those names that had been discussed were infielder Anthony Volpe, outfielder Jasson Domínguez and pitcher Drew Thorpe.

But Heyman reported that there is doubt that all three would end up being involved in a deal if the Yankees did decide to make a move to land Soto. 

Volpe, 22, was among the Yankees’ top prospects when he made the ballclub last season out of spring training before he hit 21 homers during his rookie season in the big leagues.

Dominguez, 20, is the organization’s second-highest-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com, and he appeared in eight games for the Yankees this year before his season ended early after needing right elbow surgery. 

Thorpe, 23, is another well-regarded Yankees prospect — No. 5 in the Yankees’ system, per MLB.com — and is coming off a strong season in which he pitched for both High-A Hudson Valley and Double-A Somerset.

Heyman added that Soto is the Yankees’ top offensive target this offseason and that pitchers Michael King and Clarke Schmidt “would be in the mix if there is a Yankee deal with the Padres.” 

Adding Soto will come at a hefty price tag and comes with some uncertainty, with the four-time Silver Slugger scheduled to hit free agency after this year.

“One rival exec, not with the Yankees, told me they thought the Padres should get two top-100 prospects back for Soto,” Heyman said during the show.

“We know that it’s very unlikely, almost zero chance that Soto signs a long-term extension with the team that acquires him. It’s gonna be a rental. A one-year rental, which is what limits the value of him.” 

Soto hit .275 with 35 home runs and 109 RBIs last season for San Diego, earning his third straight All-Star nod.

In three straight seasons, he has led the entire majors in walks.
