Doesn't make them all that much better. Something about that team just isn't rightComment -
Nats got basically nothing in return for Bell and Soto.Comment -
wonder if they are signing him to an extension and have that settled in the backgroundComment -
Well that's certainly not true. They got 5 top prospects.Originally posted by KiDBaZkiTComment -
Exactly. How often do prospects turnout to be Soto caliber? Prospects are so god damn overrated in MLB it’s not even funny.Originally posted by d2betsComment -
Maybe. But to say they got nothing is silly. On paper, the biggest prospect haul ever. Time will tell.Originally posted by KiDBaZkiT
Obviously Nats had to either sign him or trade him. Nats are not a factor near-term.
This was the best prospect haul they could get. Good deal for both.
Not sure we even call Gore a prospect anymore. Not dominant yet, but was pretty solid before injury. He will only get better.
And there have been many many prospect trades that work out. Pretty sure the Cubs regret trading Dylan Cease and Eloy Jimenez for Jose Quintana.Comment -
Tatis returning soon for the pennant drive. brutal three-headed-monster: Tatis, Soto, MachadoComment -
There have been even more that haven’t worked out.Originally posted by d2betsComment -
well, padres have the rest of this season and the next two to work that out. Or if they do not think they can sign him? can trade him in 2024Originally posted by pologqComment -
Does it mean anything pitching will always win outComment -
i don't think they make the deal if this was not talked aboutOriginally posted by stake1Comment -
Padres have some: Darvish, Musgrove, Manea, Clevinger (on fire), SnellOriginally posted by jjgold
pennant now down to three teams: Dodgers, Padres and MetsComment -
He’s having a terrible year and Washington is the worst team in baseball that’s all you need to knowComment -
Bobby Nightengale says hosmer rejects the deal

Nats said screw it:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The Juan Soto deal is done with the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Padres?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" >#Padres</a>, and does NOT include Eric Hosmer.</p>— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1554509805502377985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" >August 2, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>Comment -
Mets better hope DeGrom stays healthy based on the offenses of the other 2 teamsOriginally posted by stake1Comment -
agree, carrasco is going to fade. scherzer will be strong, but the mets also need help in their pen. walker could go down to injury anytime and bassitt? he does little to impress for octoberOriginally posted by pologqComment -
world series odds:
Bombers/Dodgers +$350
Astros +$525
Mets +$700
Padres +$800Comment -
Mets will probably get Contreras and Robertson from the Cubs.Originally posted by stake1Comment -
Even without him the Mets have the best ERA in baseball.Originally posted by pologqComment -
that would be big deal. contreras can also DH for them, and robertson helps solve their pen problemsOriginally posted by d2betsComment -
for their rotation? i know they are fifth for team era. but need a boost for octoberOriginally posted by unde0087Comment -
They did get a boost they got the best pitcher in baseball backOriginally posted by stake1Comment -
Don't forget about the BravesOriginally posted by stake1Comment -
Baseball loves to glorify a previous season or a couple years ago great year and think that’s gonna happen every year it doesn’tComment -
Very happy as a Padres fan getting Soto and Hader...at least they are going for it that is all you can really ask for as a fan.Comment -
Amen, got to love when the owners pony up.Originally posted by JAKEPEAVY21Comment -
Especially after getting rid of our best players for pennies on the dollar for most of my lifetime...these last few years have been pretty surreal being a serious player for a lot of bigtime talent.Originally posted by unde0087
Now with very good solid pitiching, arguably the best closer in baseball and a murderer's row of Machado, Soto and Tatis....things should get real interesting the next few years

Going to be a great finish to the end in the NL. Going to fun to watch.Originally posted by JAKEPEAVY21Especially after getting rid of our best players for pennies on the dollar for most of my lifetime...these last few years have been pretty surreal being a serious player for a lot of bigtime talent.

Yep the NL is stacked, no doubt...Originally posted by unde0087Comment -
he sure was. but now on a pitch count limit, and an undisclosed innings limit. only made 15 starts last year, and will be interesting to see how his pitching shoulder holds upOriginally posted by unde0087Comment -
Let's not forget the Giants got Dixon Machado and Ford Procter. Watch out Padres and Dodgers!Comment -
I think, as depicted in Staker's post # 19, that they surpassed the Braves in futures.
I though they might have leap-frogged over the Mets too, but DeGrom's recovery might be the reason the Mets held their position.
Think they will if Tatis returns...................

Looks like Padres dumped Hosmer on the Red Sox...thank God for that, happy to get rid of him!!
Probably had to eat most of the remaining contract but addition by subtraction, hosmer is a fooking entitled bum. Guy has been butthurt to be in trade rumors the past few years but guess what? If you had been producing, you'd still be around!! Look in the mirror and good riddance, clown!
