Articulate why not. There is no path for him unless he moves to the OF.

Beni's contract is up after next year and the situation with Murakami is unclear long term. He can fit at 1B/DH or possibly even at 2B long term if they move Meidroth for cost controlled pitching at some point.

    We have no excuse not to buy a top-end SP in free agency this offseason. As such, I’d rather keep Bonemer and go with a cheaper SP at the deadline. I truly believe we should not be doing “all-in” trad

    Trevor Bauer is an awful clubhouse fit even if you believe him innocent of any criminal wrongdoing. I also don’t understand why anyone would think a 35 year old pitching in the Nippon League or where

    I'm pretty disinterested in Detmers for what his cost is likely to be. One season of 100+ IP with < 4 ERA in his career, so the upside is limited. And for folks who are worried about Martin's recen

No Bonemer trade

We would be getting the best closer in baseball and San Diego’s best starting pitcher. With Miller, you could also convert him into the rotation for the next three years.

Imagine our bullpen with a resurgent Hicks and Taylor able to move into a setup role. Hicks / Newcomb / Taylor / Miller is a beast.

The rotation starts to take shape with Burke / King / Martin as a respectful top three.

We still have more resources for upcoming years where Bonemer being sent out we’d be covered still.

A rare occasion for us to agree.

He will move, 100%. That is unless he is traded.

I'm dropping him in LF, moving Ant to 2B, trading Chase.

Moving Bonemer for a reliever at this point is idiotic.

Fixed. 😆

Look at the last Miller trade. We are talking Bonemer, Carlson, and more.

If you’re trading Bonemer plus, you need to also get either a King rental or Fermin/Campusano.

Bonemer is going to be a star…do not fucking trade him for anything.

You basically need to have Bonemer and Cholowsky in reserve to make up for the loss of Mune.

Unless the new CBA mandates a $120-135 million salary floor and they pretty much have no choice but to invest the long term money into him.

I'm willing to give them Thorpe, Iriarte and Zavala.

Padres get Thorpe and Taylor

Sox get Miller and have to keep Romo all season.

Who says “no?” 😁

I'm no fan of Jerry Reinsdorf by any means, but do you seriously think that they'd only have a $120M payroll if the CBA forces them to do so? In this decade alone, they've already gone over that amount 4 times. Ishbia is paying down the team's debt and team revenue is going to increase with the boost in attendance they're experiencing.

That doesn't mean I think it's a sure think that they'll keep Mune beyond next season, but let's not make it sound like his departure is basically a done deal.

They’ve also never gone down to the very bottom or at least 29th payroll in the majors, só they’d still be adding at least $40 million…

With their current personnel, it does make sense to at least think about moving him for pitching, if they’re not trading at the deadline or going into the lockout period in October after the WS.

It likely wouldn’t happen until one year from now.

Feels like a 50/50 proposition whether he stays atm.

This is an absolutely garbage post and you should be ashamed for even typing it.

Colson Cholowsky Bonemer Vargas is a good enough infield to more than make up the difference offensively.

It’s also a better fielding one at three spots.

If you’re going to extend Vargas instead of Murakami, it has to be considered.

Ofc in a perfect world they sign Mune Vargas and Colson to long term extensions…and believe that the outcome will be much different from Moncada/Robert/Jimenez.

Or it could just as easily be Cholowsky Mune Vargas…if you’re worried about Colson’s back holding up over time.

From what we (supposedly) know só far, Vargas hasn’t expressed an abundant amount of interest in signing an extension, but it always comes down to $$$.

Teams like the Brewers and Rays are never wedded to one player.

TB held onto Longoria too long, and the Brewers did the same with Braun and arguably Yelich, but they are decidedly too early to trade franchise assets rather than waiting one year too late.

Look at Hader, Devin Williams, and Peralta…and look at all the money being invested into Chourio, two more minor leaguers (Lara/Pratt) https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=81308d9519815da0307d24ae747f0b6d7243053fbf10e539369eedf931adbe2eJmltdHM9MTc4NDY3ODQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1334be6d-de12-6d40-1c78-a969dfcf6c24&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJld2NyZXdiYWxsLmNvbS9taWx3YXVrZWUtYnJld2Vycy1yb3N0ZXIvODM3OTQvYnJld2Vycy1zaWduLWx1aXMtbGFyYS10by1zZXZlbi1wbHVzLXllYXItZXh0ZW5zaW9u&ntb=1and diligent efforts to get #1 prospect Jesus Made into the fold as well.

They believe in the early extension benefits versus buying someone like a Murakami at close to peak value as the contract signed puts him into his early 30’s in the case of most high profile FA’s.

You don’t trade for your top prospects for Mason Miller, the best closer in baseball, to convert him into a SP project in years where you plan on contending. None of it makes sense imo

MacDougal for Foster Griffin?

don't think that will be well-received, despite the Mune connection from NPB

"In Rymer's proposed trade package, New York would land 32-year-old Francisco Lindor ($341 million contract) of the New York Mets in exchange for Carlos Rodón, Anthony Volpe and Jasson Domínguez.

"Lindor is exactly the kind of player they need right now," Rymer wrote. "Not just a shortstop upgrade, but a proven star with swagger and World Series experience."
