If you get optioned , are you eligible for the taxi squad immediately?

Well, if someone goes on the IL, you can be called up right away (don't have to wait 10 days) so I think you should be eligible

Is it bad I had never heard of Austin Nola until today?

I assumed it was a three-way trade with the Phillies for Aaron Nola. Who the fuck is Austin Nola? They traded Trammell for a 30 y/o in his second year. WTF is going on?

Who are the other five players involved?

I just don't know. I'm so confused. Why would the Padres be trading France and Trammel for Nola. I

That better be an ace.

If Kopech is involved it’s got to be

He is Aaron's brother I believe.

Holy shit I would have traded any of our relievers for this. Austin Adams isn't even that good and he's not a kid. The Padres got crushed on this deal I think.

 

 

 

Preller just told his top 10 in his farm system to pack their shit up

Still should be awaiting 3 names right? 7 player deal.

Why?

Because we know they shopped Kopech as part of a Clevinger trade, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was involved in deals for other players.  Heuer didn’t pitch today when there were multiple opportunities for him too and Cishek is saying major league talent is involved.  And Collins is not traveling with the team despite being the clear number three catcher.

The Padres got fleeced lol

Where is this confirmed exactly? Seen a lot of speculation mostly.

Nothing makes you realize you don’t follow baseball that closely like when two west coast teams finalize a massive multi player deal and the only name you recognize was a prospect from Cincinnati last year.

If that is the price holy fuck stand pat.

I think Preller loses this pretty badly. Who knows though.

The Padres trade is what everyone in the other thread would have been freaking out about. I have to say I would be there too. 

Looks like Preller is human after all. What a terrible deal for the Padres IMO. How does this put you over the top exactly?

Preller is that "genius" in your fantasy football league who uses a write-in sticker for some Div 3 RB from Northern Alaska. 

I will say I also kinda wtf’d the Gallen-Chisholm trade last year and it ended up being some of the bigger impact guys moved

I have no idea who we’re trading for, but it seems very likely that Kopech, Heuer, & Collins are all a part of it.

Heuer and Collins 100% in my opinion. The headline will make all the difference. If Kopech? Probably Clevinger or Woodruff. If Steiver or Dunning probably Lance Lynn.
