Quin Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just now, Tnetennba said: Yup, same. Feels like 3 decent 2nd pieces and no real headliner. The fact that a 29-year-old reliever who walks 4 batters per 9 innings and rocked a 3.91 ERA last year was part of this deal... This was Getz's wheeling and dealing? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 That mlb trade values site has the padres group of players valued at a total of 44.5 and had Cease at 42.4 FWIW. I was hoping for slightly more of a premium than that but seems like a fair deal for both sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy would put them into the tax. Pretty sure they’re trying to avoid that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Not adding Head or DeVrieze tips it slightly to the Padres' side. Then again...who knows, maybe Wilson shocks the world, but SD has tons of questions across the bullpen and wouldn't have included him if they liked his upside all that much. Reunited with Tim Hill.

southsider2k5 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I will be honest, I am surprised another team didn't beat this. I probably would have went into the season with Cease vs this. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 How is one of the top pitchers in the game at a ridiculously low price with extra control not worth top prospects? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 6 minutes ago, Timmy U said: Matter of taste. I simply do not care for rhp that throw 90-92, who's best pitch is a change. Track record in the last 30 years is terrible for the profile. I hope I'm wrong, but he seems like a better version of Jonathan Cannon. I mean we all celebrated dumping Mena over the fastball and he throws harder than Thorpe. I almost put Zavala ahead of him for upside. Kid had a 18.6% swinging strike rate. That's some elite swing and miss stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both higher than where MLB Pipeline have him. He is a good get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for THIS team in its current state? Wow… Let’s just be happy that poster isn’t making roster decisions or Cease would have been moved for half this value 4 months ago.

Bob Sacamano Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I would have held onto him, put the best D possible behind him every start (even if that means Brett Phillips makes the roster and plays RF every 5 games lol), and checked the offers in June/July.

caulfield12 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 "That's a slightly painful trade, probably because I heard the (good) Cease news before I heard (the bad) who we gave up. Thorpe, Iriarte, Wilson, and Zavala. Thorpe is the tough one. BUT.......we get Cease for two years, and our front four will match up with anyone. The Padres are a better team in 2024 than they were an hour ago." go to gaslampball.com for Padres' fan reactions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Replace Snelling with Iriarte and this deal feels much more like what we were expecting. Ultimately takes two tango. Pretty obvious to me Getz lowered his ask this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
