I don’t think he really referenced him as a guy who was a problem but maybe more as a reference as a character in the clubhouse. Plus they’re friends with Lance Lynn so no doubt any of this story was really new to them.
Anyone else see this?

Says at the draft combine yesterday, Jacob was hitting balls with an exit velo of over 110.
Edit: also, miss when the draft was in June.
Capra has started 4 of the last 6 games. The at bats are there, especially if you expand into the OF over Slater and Taylor, giving days off to Sosa, Meidroth, Vargas, etc.
Trying to multi quote here but this site with ads has become horrendous.
So Padres 1st, 3rd, and 4th round pick from last year? I doubt we will get close to this.
Do the Padres have a comp pick that can be moved?
I just don't think Baldwin has much to prove in AAA the way he was swinging it. Let him play every day here and figure it out.
Edit: although, I think his time will come when they move an OF (Robert, Tauchman).
I don’t really blame Devers here and don’t feel sorry for the Red Sox. They told him you’re terrible defensively, keep the glove at home (it was pretty public) and then they go crawling back to him later.
Edit: I also feel like if they kept him, he would transition to 1B not mid-season. Off-season and Spring Training which I bet happens with SF.
They should have started transitioning him to 1B in Spring Training (yes, I know Casas was there but they were trying to trade him and guys need a day off anyway sometimes).
