Thanks though I appreciate everyone responding, I am doing this at work and came over here once the deal was announced. Abrams was/is a consensus Top 5-10 talent but he’s battled a ton of injuries and was forced up one year early due to injuries. He looks like he will take a year or two to adjust. Went from high school to majors with about as many at-bats as Andrew Vaughn received (including whatever 2020 was). Edited August 2, 20223 yr by caulfield12

Maybe Colorado … even there, some fans losing patience with mixed messages and so much competition in the division. Padres just gutted their farm system of 4 out of Top 5-6, except future catcher Campusano. Have Nick Martinez, Weathers, Morejon and Baez for insurance on pitching side. Merrill, too. Shed salary of Myers, Hosmer, likely Sean Manaea departs as a FA. Edited August 2, 20223 yr by caulfield12
August 2, 20223 yr I think y’all are underestimating the haul the Nats got. They did well here. Gore, Abrams, Wood, Hassell etc could turn out to be huge. Add on the extra cap space without having to pay Soto and I’ll be really interested to see how this pans out in 5y Plus SD will have to sign Soto now, and what will it be? 10y $475mil?

August 2, 20223 yr Just now, bmags said: Paxson resigned. And, while I guess I didn't specify which Reinsdorf, it was Michael that ushered in the regime change.

New ownership usually either goes really cheap or goes on a crazy spending spree. I gues this means they can get away with cheap for a couple of years, then go nuts.

Wood and Hassell two plus years away.

August 2, 20223 yr If Hosmer declines he wont be allowed to play in SD ever again, the fans wont allow it
August 2, 20223 yr Based on historical spend averages and even factoring in the dip in revenue during the rebuild, I have decided that Jerry could have eaten at least 100 million in Hosmer type deals over the rebuild, adding several additional top prospects.

August 2, 20223 yr Author I'm going to guess boras is pushing washington to agree to eat hosmer money and try to get him traded to a competitive team. But that team doesn't exist. WAIT HES LEFT HANDED AND SUCKS AT DEFENSE I THINK I KNOW A TEAM

He said that reinsdorf can hit a breaking point and brought up the Gar Forman/John Paxson duo of the bulls, but Paxson by all accounts resigned and pushed Reinsdorf to understand the team needed big overhaul and he couldn't do it anymore.
