Soto and Bell To Padres

[jacksonianmarch]

Holy s***. Abrams and Gore in the deal. More to come

[Bellhorn04]

Wild.

[jacksonianmarch]

Nats take back Erik Hosmer to offset salary. But this is a f***ing haul

 

CJ Abrams was #8 last year in all of baseball. He has surpassed rookie eligibility.

MacKenzie Gore was #6 last season in all of baseball. He has surpassed rookie eligibility and looked decent in his 16 game cameo

Robert Hassell III is the #21 ranked player this year in all of baseball.

James Wood is the #88 prospect this year in all of baseball

Jarlin Susana is the #14 prospect in the SD system this year.

 

That is a f***ING HAUL

Getting rid of Hosmer was big.

 

Who was the poster all hot and bothered about us signing Hosmer?

[Bellhorn04]

MLBTR calls it a "stunning blockbuster, one of the most seismic trades in major league history".

[JDavis76]

I see on twitter that it's still pending hosmer waiving his no trade clause as the nats are on his 10 team list.

 

We all know that's usually just a matter of $$$$

[Bellhorn04]

What a bummer for Hosmer.

Even bigger than Diekman-McGuire…

Hands down.....

Hosmer rejected the trade so they need to re-work it.

Reportedly they had a permutation for just such a contingency.

 

Apparently San Diego will now try desperately to move Hosmer to a team not listed on his NTC. (MLBTR cited “one of the 20 teams not listed. Obviously it’s just one of the 19, as the Padres are unlikely to deal Hosmer to themselves.)

 

It will be interesting to see if San Diego can sign Soto and have a roster with him, Tatis and Machado all making $30mill+…

Maybe Kayceee , told Hosmer , " Wait a minute honey , I don't want to go to D.C. "

As salaries continue to soar, there are going to be many more teams facing this dilemma

King.

[Bellhorn04]

We're getting Hosmer. Wow.

[dgalehouse]

Pretty sure Kaycee will okay that one. And say what you will about Homer , he represents a major upgrade here.
