Yeah, there's a reason he's still unsigned this late into Spring Training.

At that point, might as well sign Bauer for the league minimum. At least you can cut him if you think he's an issue in the clubhouse. Edit: don't mistake this post for me wanting either of these guys

I'm ready to just turn the page on everyone from the previous rebuild (outside of Robert of course).

I figured we would see him in the rotation in at least April, before deciding on if he needs to move to the pen/open up rotation spots for guys in the minors at some point.

Yeah, guy is easily cut-able if you need 40-man space.

Quintana had 3.5 years of control when dealt.

Roster Resource, after this news, has the rotation as: Fedde, Soroka, Flexen, Crochet (I highly doubt he makes the OD rotation), and Nastrini. You figure maybe one of the MiLB deal guys could make it or Lorenzen like you said.

In a middle relief role or do you make him a long-reliever? Touki has been terrible and shouldn't be guaranteed a spot whereas Banks could also be your long-reliever.

I understand not wanting to go long term on those guys, but on 1-2 year deals, it’s fine. Plus you need to add guys to potentially flip.

Most starts in the league since 2020.

Hope you get a nice first half from Wilson and flip in the summer - packaged with Lorenzen to a team lol

Said it last night and I'll say it again: I would have waited until the summer and put the best defense behind him possible every 5 games, even if the little offense we have this year was even less those games.

Yeah, he’d basically be the leading candidate for RF if he were here lol

Thats his point though. Hard to fill all those spots in an offseason. Having some actual MLB talent on the roster helps.

Yeah, teams do that ??‍♂️ you can claim a guy and plan on not actually having him long term

For now, C

Yes, definitely.

Yeah for real lol you just know they’re not going to be a good team and he’ll be available in July/next offseason.

I would have held onto him, put the best D possible behind him every start (even if that means Brett Phillips makes the roster and plays RF every 5 games lol), and checked the offers in June/July.

Yep

You’re late

I have a feeling he’s going to blow up. It would be so White Sox ha

I think some people are disappointed because they thought we would get a Kjerstad type, MLB ready LHH to plug in the lineup this whole time.

With it being the Padres, who have a shitty lineup, you think they would maybe give a little more and try to get Eloy too, no?
