Can't say I totally understand what the Padres are doing this offseason. Seems like when the Rockies went into full rebuilt but then signed Kris Bryant to a random huge deal in 2021

Montero on the mound, it's not looking much better than last year, two walks, then a fielding error let's a run score

Why be irrelevant in Chicago when you can be irrelevant in California
Going from Southside Chicago to San Diego sounds like a win to me for Cease

Surprised they have any prospects left to give after the Soto / Hader / Snell deals
This is the most Padres thing ever.
Hope we catch wind of some jimmies rustled in the Bronx and Arlington.
One of the best possible landing spots for him as far as the Astros are concerned.

1000%
Would be hilarious if the Yankees signed Montgomery again and didn't learn from his usage last time (telling him not to use his fastball)
The fact that Dylan Cease was traded BEFORE Snell or Montgomery signed is really something.#WhiteSox | #Padres

I don't think Montgomery wants to go back to the Yankees

Supposedly that guy's are pretty good
Maybe need one or two more names.
Padres GM must be paid by the move.
And at what point does Boras play the collusion card?
The White Sox are receiving No. 5 prospect Drew Thorpe and No. 8 prospect Jairo Iriarte in a package from the Padres, per @jonmorosi

Padres OF Samuel Zavala also expected to be in the deal

Steven Wilson also part of the Padres package going for Cease

The only thing more bizarre for the Padres to do would be to resign Snell.

Makes more sense.
The main guy they traded is the headline piece they got from the Yanks in the Soto deal (Thorpe). The Yanks basically helped them get the pitcher the Yankees wanted.Beau Holder said:EastCoastAgNc said:BREAKING: The San Diego Padres are finalizing a trade to acquire right-hander Dylan Cease from the Chicago White Sox, sources tell ESPN.

I can't help but continue to toy with trading Framber and signing one of Montgomery or Snell. Maybe if you can get a club to take on loser Montero's salary you can still stay under the second luxury tax threshold.EastCoastAgNc said:The fact that Dylan Cease was traded BEFORE Snell or Montgomery signed is really something.#WhiteSox | #Padres

Will this Dylan Cease trade prompt teams to sign Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery?@Ken_Rosenthal on why he doesn't think so — still the same staring match.

Montero is going to far outperform his current trade value after that stinker of a season.
Only gonna happen if he dies because then you don't have to pay him.
Source confirms: Brewers closer Devin Williams expected to miss about three months with two stress fractures in his back. First: @JeffPassan.

That sounds incredibly painful

Maybe they need to trade for Montero now.
I hope the Rangers move on to someone like Bieber and overpay for a guy trending down.
Can we just give Montero to the Rangers ? Or anyone?
We fixed him once. We can do it again. And if we do we have the best 6th inning pitcher in baseball.
Javy & Diaz looked good.Farmer1906 said:
What I would pay extra attention to
-Javier/Diaz comfort level
-Cabbage look comfortable at 3B
-Loperfido's stroke
Couldn't say on Cabbage as he didn't get any opportunities.
Loperfido smoked a couple of XB hits so I'd say his stroke is looking good.
Montero did not look good.

Did we fix him…or was he just lucky?

He's a right handed version of Tony Sipp. Dude was straight up ass unless it was a contract year.
2 weeks from opening day
we anxiously await Espada's first lineup
Thank God, I always forget how miserable boring sports are post-Super Bowl, pre-Opening Day. Losing Joel Embiid off my fantasy basketball team has had me in a sports IDGAF mode for almost a month now.tjack16 said:

I'm all in on Aggie baseball every spring so that's been fun. If the Aggies win a few in the SEC tournament then March madness will be a little better for passing the time.
Quick pulse check on Jake Meyers.
Do we think he's...
A. - same old dude. below average on O and it ain't changing.
B. - He will take the next step to being above avg on offense
C. - About to break out.
D. - Going to regress to Maldy levels
---
Starting job secured, Meyers 'in a really good place'

Quote:
Spring Training statistics are not always indicators of what's to come in the regular season, but it's worth noting that Meyers has shown some pop in camp. He homered in his first at-bat and singled in the seventh inning of the Astros' 6-5 loss to the Mets Wednesday night, and with two weeks remaining until the regular season, he has a 1.150 OPS this spring.
"He's in a really good place," Espada said before the game. "His swing is different from last year. Success also helps build some confidence. Like I told him in the winter, he's going to play. I think when he's healthy, he's a very good player. He's a very valuable player to our team. It's showing so far in camp."
...
"He looks really good this camp," McCormick said. "I can tell he's hungry, and he has a longer leash this year, which is huge. There's a lot of confidence and support in this organization, and that's big."
Same. This season feels special.tjack16 said:The Porkchop Express said:Thank God, I always forget how miserable boring sports are post-Super Bowl, pre-Opening Day. Losing Joel Embiid off my fantasy basketball team has had me in a sports IDGAF mode for almost a month now.tjack16 said:
