  1. 12-2 with 4 walkoff wins
  2. Matz is a pretty good reliever. May has looked really bad and I doubt he makes a positive impact
  3. Absolutely horrible f***ing deadline. Either buy or sell. Getting one middle reliever and a s***** rental starter is absolutely stupid, horrible job by Breslow
  4. Holy s***, mason Miller just got sent to San Diego in a package involving Leo De Vries
  5. The plan for a while has been to move Marte to the outfield, even before a trade for Hayes. Espinal is a DFA candidate and CES has shown absolutely nothing in the majors to have you believe he’s apart of the future. Hayes is an elite fielder and at least sures up the defense. This team has been giving Connor Joe and Espinal every day ABs. It can’t get much worse than them. Sure they have a lot of guys who can play the corners, but they mainly suck.
  6. Yeah they gave up Khal Stephen who’s been rising in prospect rankings. That seems like a good get for Cleveland for a guy coming off a major surgery and has thrown 0 innings this year.
  7. Espinal is horrendous. Marte moved to OF, Steer can play multiple positions and Encarnacion-strand has been one of worst players in baseball for last two years. He had a combined -1.7 WAR in less than 70 games. Hayes isn’t a star or anything but he’s a great fielder and at least gives a team positive value. CES and Espinal are horrible.
  8. Another thing I don’t understand is why they wanted a 5th LHRP. They already have Chapman, Bernardino, Wilson and Murphy.
  9. Yeah I don’t understand how Blaze is blocked at 1B, Toro is a DFA candidate.
  10. I was being sarcastic due to all the trading Duran threads, articles and arguments.
  11. I was going to say - I’ve been strongly opposed to trading Duran all season and I don’t think you or Bellhorn has really been advocating for it lol.
  12. In other news - Eugenio Suarez is headed back to Seattle.
  13. I’ll just merge it so we don’t have two duplicate threads. the trade is fine I guess. I hope it’s one of multiple trades we’re making, otherwise it seems kind of pointless.
  14. Decent game for Duran to boost his trade value for a rental starter!
  15. He also got hit in the head by a line drive and is getting a CT scan after the game. He got hit by a Lindor line drive in the third and they let him pitch two more innings and didn’t get him checked out till after game? Seems incredibly stupid on Padres part
  16. Something would probably have to be added with Duran to get a legit #2, sure. I just am not sure Cease is worth the risk of losing Duran. He’s having a bad year in a pitchers park and again, is a rental, that is why I don’t like the trade. I get that Salas has value but he isn’t helping the team any time soon and while he is young, his production has not matched his alleged potential at all yet. The other thing with Duran is, you don’t have to move him. Worst case scenario you can just keep him and you have a good outfielder for multiple seasons. It’s not like he is unhappy and demanding a trade and he’s very well liked in the clubhouse. These things tend to work themselves out and im sure the OF problem will be solved in the off season. Right now there is a lot of teams bunched together who aren’t sure if they should buy or sell and the market is very hard to read. If Salas/Cease is the best offer they got - I completely support declining and holding.
  17. It is peanuts when you consider that Cease is a rental having a bad year. It’s a bad offer that can set back the team and isn’t needed at all. It doesn’t help them much this year and it’s doubtful it makes them better in the future considering Duran is cost controlled under team control for 3 more seasons. If Duran is moved, it should be for a #2 starter that is cost controlled. Not a rental with no guarantee is going to re-sign. The padres clearly don’t intend on re-signing Cease so just sign him in the off-season and keep Duran.
  18. Sonny Gray or Kevin Gasuman maybe?
  19. Salas rank is based off his age and “potential” he’s done absolutely nothing on the field to warrant this obsession with him nor does it make sense to trade Jarren Duran for him.
  20. What is the basis of the Salas/Cease trade being some amazing offer? Salas was horrible when healthy this year and has a back issue that’s nagged him all season, he’s been falling in prospect rankings and it’s fair to question whether his original high prospect ranking was premature. Cease is also a rental who is having a down year. Duran is a very good player who is under control and they don’t have to move him. They likely get a better offer if they wait till off season. I don’t get the obsession with HAVING to move him. You don’t need to do anything unless a team overpays or you get a player you are in love with.
