Interesting piece of this trade is the Padres have to win in 2022-23 and would then have to decide in 2024 about restocking the minor league system with a 25 year old Soto trade or holding one for one more shot at a World Series. Of course, Padres would have a boatload invested in just three guys, $60 million left to Musgrove, four more Machado years and then Tatis' monster deal. If they could resign him before Boras takes him to LA or NY (Mets or Yankees), it would be permanent proof small market teams are crying poor while actually cash rich. Then the consideration of which team Soto wants to go to the HoF for? Next deal likely 10-12 years in length and potentially his last.

Drury to Padres Syndergaard Marsh Robertson to Phillies All-in

Cairo proxy manager tonight...like 36 holes at the golf course for TLR.

Way too early to make that call on two or three hot weeks from Colas. AA pitchers will make some adjustments. Let's at least inquire on Confort...we did Boras a solid with Rodon after all.

Good luck with their 22-23 budget, but Christian Vasquez would fit. A ton of money for two catchers and bullpen.

And changed to German passport.

Thankfully Tigers still have Jimenez and Soto...now 5-3 after a big three run rally. Probably jinxed lol.

Seby will cool down again (eventually) and his defense will become a more acute issue again.

Nelson Cruz really hit a wall these last two years.

Probably will need him tmrw as well.

Eloy looks like he's really having fun tonight. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Had to be tagging up right away. Lost all his momentum running back then trying to pivot on a dime. Isbel with a great throw too. Could be back to 5-3-1 games over for three division leader. Maybe no big moves will be a right kick in the ass they need? Twins down again late...last night they rallied off Fulmer, now in the opposite dugout.

Great time for Diekman debut.

Imagine if not 18-10 in one run games.

White Sox on pace for lowest walk rate in 120+ years of franchise history. Yikes.

He hustles, plays defense and seems to care more than most far younger than 35. Has fun out there, always smiling and entertaining.

Naquin, too. Nobody took Gamel.

Anderson Keller Salvy Perez still not acknowledging each other.

High stepping at age 35. Terrell Owens of the White Sox.

Keeping it classy. At least not OnlyFans or Deshaun Watson "therapeutic massage" approach.

Now you're really pushing it...but might be right.

All of that went to purchasing Twinkies.

But he has lots of K's! Guardians' fans must be disappointed. Just glad they didn't trade Rosario Bieber and Plesac.
