Juan Soto A Padre

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

They are for real

[Brock Landers]

Doesn't make them all that much better. Something about that team just isn't right

[KiDBaZkiT]

Nats got basically nothing in return for Bell and Soto.

[pologq]

wonder if they are signing him to an extension and have that settled in the background

[d2bets]

Well that's certainly not true. They got 5 top prospects.

Exactly. How often do prospects turnout to be Soto caliber? Prospects are so god damn overrated in MLB it’s not even funny.

Maybe. But to say they got nothing is silly. On paper, the biggest prospect haul ever. Time will tell.

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.

[stake1]

Tatis returning soon for the pennant drive. brutal three-headed-monster: Tatis, Soto, Machado

There have been even more that haven’t worked out.

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 2024

[jjgold]

Does it mean anything pitching will always win out

i don't think they make the deal if this was not talked about

Padres have some: Darvish, Musgrove, Manea, Clevinger (on fire), Snell
pennant now down to three teams: Dodgers, Padres and Mets

[jjgold]

He’s having a terrible year and Washington is the worst team in baseball that’s all you need to know

Bobby Nightengale says hosmer rejects the deal

Nats said screw it:

Mets better hope DeGrom stays healthy based on the offenses of the other 2 teams

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 october

[stake1]

world series odds:
Bombers/Dodgers +$350
Astros +$525
Mets +$700
Padres +$800

Mets will probably get Contreras and Robertson from the Cubs.

Even without him the Mets have the best ERA in baseball.

[stake1]

Mets will probably get Contreras and Robertson from the Cubs.

that would be big deal. contreras can also DH for them, and robertson helps solve their pen problems

[stake1]

Even without him the Mets have the best ERA in baseball.

for their rotation? i know they are fifth for team era. but need a boost for october

They did get a boost they got the best pitcher in baseball back

Don't forget about the Braves

[jjgold]

Baseball loves to glorify a previous season or a couple years ago great year and think that’s gonna happen every year it doesn’t

[JAKEPEAVY21]

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.

Amen, got to love when the owners pony up.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Amen, got to love when the owners pony up.

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.

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.

Yep the NL is stacked, no doubt...

[stake1]

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 up

[franklee168]

Let's not forget the Giants got Dixon Machado and Ford Procter. Watch out Padres and Dodgers!

[Roscoe_Word]

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...................

[JAKEPEAVY21]

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!
