Why do people assume they would shop Abreu? That is never going to happen.

If you were to sign Castellanos for say 4 or 5 years, that’s the same amount of time you would have Vaughn (5 more years of control, assuming he doesn’t get sent down for a period of time due to struggles) and you can make him available. Not saying I want to go this route, but if you wanted to deal for another starter or someone at 2B.

Just received this about 20 minutes ago. Nice.

It would be awesome if they end up changing it to something else instead of the dumb name they landed on.

I’m pretty much open to signing anyone and dealing from depth at this point ha

Right? And even if there is a buyout, that would be like $500k or a mill. Not much money for an MLB team to even worth factoring in.

I just feel like if we’re going to add another OF, it shouldn’t be a below average defense, bat first right-handed corner OF.

Yeah if you sign Castellanos, you basically have to deal 2 of Vaughn, Sheets, Eloy I feel.

All the DHs!

The difference is in the bats, as someone in those arguments had make clear. I’m someone who doesn’t want any of those 3 (Sheets, Schwarber, Castellanos) in RF however.

We have won 3 post-season games in the past 14 years (16 if you go back to the year after the World Series). 2 of the wins in the past 2 years. We’re improving!

Yeah it’s really easy to pick which team to cheer for in this one.

Still don’t have it yet. Hopefully I receive it soon. It’s been an expensive couple months haha

They should probably wait for conclusion on CBA to see if the NL finally gets a DH.

True. I don’t have the idea of LaStella and was definitely on the wagon of signing him last year (and then Brad Miller after he signed with SF).

Better have a good backup IF if you want to bank on LaStella though.

I think he is referring to Burger.

Wut

NO

Nimmo is good. Just can’t stay healthy.

Hey hey hey…that’s 3 playoff wins in past 13 years thank you!

Interesting. I wonder what song they will pick.

If Semien stuck with Sox, he would have been a free agent before this season so it’s not like it’s some guarantee he would have been a factor this year. It would have been nice to trade him at some point in the rebuild though after one of his great seasons.

I think there was a group in the off-season that said they should sign another corner OF left handed bat even after they signed Eaton (Schwarber, Rosario, Peterson, etc) so they could have Vaughn start in the minors. Obviously with the injuries, there would have been a path for Vaughn to make the MLB team after a great spring anyway. With how much he ended up sitting at the beginning of the season, I kinda would have preferred him starting in the minors and gaining that extra year of control.

I’ll take your word for it. You are the Padres biggest fan after all.
