The Padres are locking Preller and Melvin in a room together tomorrow to make them work it out (but hopefully they just fire both).

It's a little sad that Click went from an awful work environment (apparently) in Houston to apply for an awful work environment (apparently) in Boston. You'd think his former colleague Bloom would say something to him.

FlamingLiberal posted:Why would Buck want that job He's 67 and not a particularly good manager. There's also only so many jobs. He's not going back to the Mets so it's Anaheim, San Francisco, Cleveland and maybe Houston and the Giants are reportedly leaning Melvin (and the Padres leaning Shildt or Flaherty) and the Guardians Vogt. Milwaukee and Houston could also open up but neither of them seem like teams that would want a guy like Buck. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Oct 24, 2023 |

Eric the Mauve posted:Chemistry can definitely be overstated but I also do not believe a team whose best and most prominent player is Manny Machado will ever win anything. Good thing the Padres have Tatis and Soto then. There was actually an article in the San Diego Union Tribune before the season ended about how Machado would blow off practice and show up late to things despite being the team leader and he basically called it fake news. It's starting to come out what a meddler the Padres' owner is. He signed Machado to that monster extension even though Preller signed Bogaerts to basically replace him cause they're friends and he hired Melvin, who never got along with Preller.

Red posted:Juan Soto plays in a pitcher's park yet has a poor negative dWAR, the worst on the team by far. Grisham and Tatis are elite defenders so being worse than them doesn't mean much. Soto's numbers are bad but he makes the routine plays. Anyone who says they wouldn't want him cause of his defense is looking for a reason to not want him. And there's like two feet between the line and the side wall in left at Petco.

Well Played Mauer posted:I cross-referenced Soto against another bat-first left fielder, Manuel Aristides Ramírez, who was a defensive trainwreck even at Fenway. In Manny's first six full seasons, he accumulated 34.4 WAR. Soto's racked up 28.7, and that includes two years where he missed time. Soto also went into a funk after the only team he had ever played for leaked their contract offer to save face before trading him.

The dumb about all the Soto mock trades people come up with is that it's mostly for minor league depth. The Padres have a good farm system, they don't need to trade their best hitter to restock.

For as bad as the Betts trade was, the Red Sox still got Verdugo and rid of Price, and the Padres don't have a contract like Price's to dump. If the Padres only get prospects back, they have to go out and replace Soto, which would cut into the savings they're trading their best hitter to get.

Sydin posted:Soto is a "all in on 2024" move. He's already turned down a historic extension that would have made him the highest paid player in baseball and with how the market's trended for top level FA's since there's no reason at all to suspect that has changed, if anything his decision to reach FA no matter what has probably calcified that much more. So you're gutting the top end of your farm and probably giving up a decent major league guy on top for 162 games of Soto + (hopefully) a postseason run. All of which is to say, there's really no point in trading for him unless your team is pretty much already complete and just wants that extra boost to really put them over the edge, or is otherwise planning to complete the team in other ways complimentary to Soto in FA. The team that makes the most sense for Soto is still the Padres. If Soto leaves, it'll be Tatis and a bunch of guys getting old.

The Padres could solve their problems by trading prospects for pitching. The offense is set, and they have Musgrove and Darvish who they hope bounce back, they just need pitching depth.
