The team is still growing and young. I don't have expectations of a World Series this year. The team got good by developing young players.The other item is having additional years of control, is nice. However, what are they going to be valued at given what next year could be, which is probably a shortened season?I would probably do Carlson and Quero for Deitmers as my high package. My thought process is we have a significant amount of middle infielders in Meridoth, Antonocci, Montgomery, Cholowosky, Thome, and Prosek. I would imagine two of that combination hold it down for the next 10-12 years.They could like Quero and feel like he is fixable. However, I would not trade any young pitching as this is something we are lacking.Would the Angels really want Quero back??? Why?Carlson is still at least three years away and needs to add power/strength.New Angels' GM will likely want prospects closer to AA/AAA with the ability to impact the 2027 roster.
11 hours ago11 hr Detmers and Skubal will cost too much prospect capital.R.Ray Wacha1A/Lugo1B E.Rodriguez Flaherty will be more about salary relief.F.Griffin D.May Lambert Soroka another four maybes in teams of inclusion on the market.

I think they will take the best package of talent they can get regardless.

10 hours ago10 hr 1 hour ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:I think it's a bad offer, but people here are really sleeping on detmers. He was rushed as a 21 year old to the league. Didn't get a chance to learn to pitch professionally. He threw 62 minor league innings. Has very fun stuff, and looks like he's found some pitchability over the last season (2nd half last year, 1st half this). My only concern with Detmers is it's a lot of fly balls.I'm definitely a fan though.A lot of of fly balls. That could mean not a great fit for us. But we could use him of course. The Resenthal report about us potentially overpaying for pitching, and if it would be a fly balls guy, that’s concerning from a fan outlook. But I assume Getz knows what he’s doing. Although his description of Acuna was off.
10 hours ago10 hr 1 hour ago, chw42 said:I don't mind Detmers and I think there's definitely a lot of upside to him if he ever harnesses all of his stuff to be a more effective pitcher. But the proposed trades out there all rate him like he's an established near elite pitcher with 2.5 years of control left, which he is definitely not. Cease was a better pitcher with a better track record when the Sox traded him with 2 years of control left. And even he only got 1 top 100 prospect and a couple of guys near the bottom of the Padres' top 10 at the time.Given what we just went through with Cease and Robert and even Crochet other name trades, trying like hell in forums to understand the perceived low return of TOP ranked prospects…….we are the same fans willing to give up out top prospects for a guy like Detmers. Who don’t get me wrong, I appreciate Detmers. It’s the fans willingness to bend over is confusing. Like, we are sooo f ing thirsty around here.
10 hours ago10 hr To make it a finer point, we all have been taught most recently that the top organization prospect(s) traded is reserved for superstar trades. Even then, the returns aren’t what they might be in the past. That’s the new MLB. It doesn’t happen anymore for guys like Detmers. Thirsty suggestions that we act any differently just because the Sox suddenly have available trade capital, is not reality Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Chick Mercedes

Geeze looking at the standings currently there’s only really like 7 teams to pluck from.

9 hours ago9 hr Seller's marketIf you take Skubal off the top of the list...that tentatively puts a scuffling F.Peralta there, but still 18-20 teams chasing the same thing, quality pitching.Maybe Mason Miller's availability takes 1-2 more better prospects off the board, though.But now Aroldis Chapman gone...maybe StL still tries to sell high on 31 year old O'Brien?Scherzer/Bieber yet two more wild cards.

The Padres always fall into rumors for that last one.
