They’re still the padres. They’re like the twins or angels. It doesn’t matter who they have, they won’t win shit. Tatis Jr isn’t even going to play this season. Machado can’t be counted on in the playoffs. So you’re left with a barely above average lineup & pitching. It’s not enough to carry them. 

Um, yes he is.  Wish he weren't, but he's taking BP and getting ready to start a rehab assignment.

Uh Tatis was already there .They only "added" Soto. 

Unless you are referring to Tatis coming back from injury in the context of a trade. Even then it's a reach calling both of those the "best two players in the game". 

1) yes, they’re “adding” him in the sense that he hasn’t played yet this year.

2) I said they’re “arguably” the two best. Thus they are arguably not the two best. But Soto is generally regarded as the best hitter in baseball and Tatis is second in position player WAR since he debuted in 2019…second to Soto. (From 2019-2021, since Tatis hasn’t played in 2022.)

So much irony from a Yankees fan, and a bandwagon one at that...

MLB radio said it doesn't really matter cause the deal is happening.  If Hosmer declines then he will just be released essentially.  

And who pays the $39MM left on his contract?

[Scraps 13543]

SD from my understanding. Also if he went to Wash they are paying it anyway according to MLB radio.

They would probably have to trade Wil Myers. They are just trying to stay under threshold for this season

You would think they would have felt him out on the subject before putting him in the deal.

[UTexasFight 9381]

The real losers today appear to be the Braves (and no, not because they added Odorizzi).

if standings hold, Padres/Braves look to be on a collision course for best 2 out of 3.

of course the Mets could always pull a Mets and should they fail to win the East, Scherzer/DeGrom via the Padres in a best 2 of 3 would be tasty.

Holy shit, somebody paid for Joey Gallo?

[TonyTexas 10482]

This is hard to say but I almost want to see Gallo go on a tear with the Dodgers. For obvious reasons.

@Sbbruin your team just got much, much worse by adding Gallo. Thank you.

Well, the #15 prospect in the organization may not be "paying" a whole lot.

No way, slot him in between Muncy and Bellinger.  Murderer's row.

Team is not impacted.  He'll get a few ab's, if he continues to suck, thanks for coming and go get your shinebox.

The worst part of Gallo leaving NYY is that they immediately improved.

I will gladly take $10 million and put up with all of that. I wouldn’t cry about it to anyone either.

Come on now, a tremendous slouch like you would easily clear $30 mil per with your advanced stats. 

In all seriousness, if you faced 1/1000 of what Gallo did, you would drown in your tears that filled the room in which you hid.

I mean there wasn't a lack in trying to pay them, and Rendon leaving was a blessing in disguese for them.

Once Tatis returns, the Padres could have the best roster in MLB.

Wrong to hope Gallo doesn’t pass his physical?

He was 26th on mlb.com (which I know isn't the best place to look) and having a decent looking season. But only threw 45 innings between 2019-2021.

Hoyer is just plopping his balls on the table it seems waiting for someone to call his bluff.
