2025 Trade deadline rumors thread


Recommended Posts

Padres/Preller looking to acquire A's closer and turn him into a starter?

or bluffing as he deals Suarez/Cease?

 

But according to The Athletic report, “indications” are that Preller “is willing to at least discuss” such names as shortstop Leo De Vries (the third-ranked prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline) and catcher Ethan Salas (the club’s No. 2 prospect and No. 20 overall).

To add to the intrigue, the Padres might consider converting Miller back into a starting pitcher (the right-hander made six starts for the A’s back in 2023). San Diego does have a history of converting relievers into starters, doing so recently with Michael King, Stephen Kolek and Seth Lugo...along with Nick Martinez.

Perhaps he can talk about the Sox going for it in 2016 and his stellar trade for James Shields?

He did say during this broadcast that he's been in a situation in which he told ownership there was only about a 10% chance of contending in his estimation, thus he recommended selling, but ownership demanded going for it

This checks out, honestly before the 2016 tear down I can't really remember a time where the Sox weren't "going for it" so to speak.

2016 and then 2024 are really the only tear downs I can even recall in my lifetime as a fan
