SD seems to be willing to trade away any non-elite prospect for immediate help...and then are able to magically restock the prospect shelf.
I'm guessing they had to give up a FV 50 plus more, but who knows.

Bowden says players have been agreed upon. Working through medical records now and of course, Scherzer has to waive his no trade rights. No reason for him not to
Get off my lawn!

The 2020 Braves + a Scherzer-like pick-up = World Series champions. Seriously.

Third place in the second best division in baseball. The Padres would win the NL East by at least 12 games.

The deadline is the worst time to trade for a non rental starter for that very reason.
Pache not in the lineup... let everyone wildly speculate and then he ends up on the COVID IL
Let's all guess who the headliner is for Scherzer.
I'm guessing they wanted Bart from SF, and that's why it didn't happen.
So Campusano, Kim and Hassell seem like the most likely guys to head the package from SD.
I'll go with Hassell.
The playoff odds currently stand right at 10%. Judging from the 11% boost Marte gave the As, adding an impact bat like Bryant should be good for a roughly 10% boost in playoff odds to roughly 20%.
Adding 1-2 arms to the BP should bump that up to 20%-25%. If the Cubs are in love with some sub-FV50 prospect I would like to see it happen. If means giving up Waters I'm not such a big fan...and I'm the low man around here on Waters.

So, Pache, Langeliers, A-Jax and Trey Harris are all out of their respective lineups tonight. It's probably nothing but Trade Deadline...
