12 hours ago12 hr Sounds about like another Todd Ritchie trade...although Detmers has more promise, the odds of remaining him long-term under JR are slim and none unless there really is a salary floor instituted. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by caulfield12

Second, calling him a one year wonder is factually accurate as of today. He also never states that going forward he will revert absolutely, if you are looking for facts, not discussion.

He also never states that going forward he will revert absolutely, if you are looking for facts, not discussion.I mean, a fundamental part of someone being a one year wonder is what happens after the standout year, so I’m not sure how fair that is.Otherwise, Vargas and Jordan Walker are also one year wonders by that definition.At any rate, not a hill I care to die on. Seems like most of us are in agreement that it’s likely too high a price to pay for a very talented pitcher who is far from a sure thing.

11 hours ago11 hr I'm not sure which thread this belongs in, if any. but I'd like to see Bergolla replace Acuna as utility infielder.
5 hours ago5 hr 20 hours ago, Snopek said:Yeah, I get that. But why is not a possibility that he figured something out?Yep. But the prices I've seen are are so high that they based not only on the certainty that he has figured something out, but that he's also better than his best year. The price is higher than we got for Crochet.Now if it were, say, a price that we charged the Padres for Cease, then it's worth a long look.But if he has figured it out, sign him in 2 years.

3 hours ago3 hr There's just no way they're serious players for Skubal..."(In addition to Skubal) The Athletic's Dennis Lin (subscription required) hears the Friars also are showing interest in several Japanese stars, including right fielder Seiya Suzuki, corner infielder Teruaki Sato and starter Shota Imanaga.Reliever Yuki Matsui is the most notable Japanese-born free agent the Padres have signed under general manager A.J. Preller. However, the team has long tried to expand its reach in Japan, courting the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Suzuki in previous free-agent cycles.mlb.comDeep pocketed new owners have to make a splash to sustain attendance/interest...likely losing King, Pivetta and Morejon, leaving only Vasquez and recovering Musgrove in rotation.
3 hours ago3 hr Nick Pivetta seems more like the kind of buy low starter the Sox would court...very solid 2025, but all kinds of question marks attached, like a Brandon Woodruff."The reason his free agency was surprising is that he had a club option on a team-friendly deal that could have been picked up, but the Friars chose to decline it. For any team that signs Pivetta — and the Padres can very well be that team this winter — it is worth noting that he missed nearly five months of action in 2026 dealing with a flexor tendon strain in his elbow."
3 hours ago3 hr 1 hour ago, southsider2k5 said:"If he needs to"...Exactly. Why is there even an “if” in his statement? Such shady BS talk. Both Kenny and Hahn used this same ambiguous verbal diarrhea with the media for years when discussing the payroll. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by WhiteSox2023
1 hour ago1 hr The White Sox sent out emails promoting the Holiday sale Package. You get 10 games and you pick the 10 games you want. Its almost as if they think the entire 2027 season will be played. I wonder if they're going to release the 2027 promotional schedule soon.
