Lol ok Mike.

I feel like Crochet has a solid chance.

No way Kopech goes back to minors.

Moose looked way late on that

You can tell me any team from that division won the division and I wouldn’t be shocked. Wide open.

Pedro is talking. Time to mute the TV.

Why do I feel like this is going to happen? Padres selling at the deadline and get more than they gave up for him?

Prelander.

Oh yeah you can. You don’t even have to look that hard.

If he ends up sucking in bullpen, you almost think that’s the next step. Hopefully he turns it around as a reliever we can flip him.

He’s not a flip candidate. No one wants him.

There's not that many days off in the first couple weeks like usual (unless it rains). The only day off the first 2 weeks is the day after opening day. They need 5.

Exactly what should have happened.

It's not true. He was traded during the season.

They do not. Was not eligible for a QO since he was traded.

Agreed. Go with Lorenzen or get even more creative and go with Montgomery (Bellinger/Chapman type deal).

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.
