JR hasn't died that I have noticed...but the team is stuck semi-permanently in baseball purgatory. They at least acknowledge the existence of the Pacific Rim with a scouting presence as well...and are playing the Dodgers in Korea to open 2024. Looking at making HaSeong Kim one of their future centerpieces if they can pull it off financially...have invested a lot into Darvish as well, obviously. Had to replace Kerr/Pomeranz and continued to lower payroll while simultaneously dumping Carpenter.

caulfield12 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Looks like other West Coast teams now building around the Japanese and Korean markets except the A’s Mariners and of course the Angels. Looks like they believe they can take advantage of the spillover effect from LA. There’s your new Hader on the cheap lol. https://www.gaslampball.com/2023/12/19/24008210/padres-close-to-signing-reliever-yuki-matsui Edited December 24, 2023 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coverage of Ohtani and Yamamoto…about 50-60 Japanese writers will now be based out of Southern California, with 15-20 Korean writers already split between SFG and SD (unless HaSeong Kim is traded off at max value because they cant get enough back for eating the Cronenworth deal.) Then you have the Dodgers/Padres to open the season in Seoul. When the Dodgers are out of town, it only makes sense for some of those writers to be allocated to much closer games than the Cubs (Suzuki) and Red Sox (Yoshida). Also depends of course where those various teams are in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Not hearing Imanata’s name much recently, but he is suddenly one to watch as he was expected to come in around $75 million before all this craziness…and he’s actually the third option currently in FA behind Snell and Montgomery.
