I guess our new thing is to trade pitching before they get TJS like our old thing was to acquire them after they have TJS.

I'm gonna guess when Dipoto heard that we would eat Gonzales and White's money and take Kelenic off their hands, he didn't even look at Phillips and Kowar's medicals. He hung up the phone and called the league office before Alex could change his mind.Originally Posted by cajunrevenge
Ken saying the Cease market is heating up. Noting the Rangers, Yankees as most likely. Said he got a tip that the Rangers might get him but it wasnt true. Still tbd if he's moved before opening day.
I’d still trade AJSS for him
No you wouldn’t 😂
Padres getting Cease per Passan.
Preller felt left out I guess
Wonder how much they gave up. Had to be way less than they were hoping at the start of the offseason.
Ken said Padres trading a pretty deep offer for him (pause). Outbid the Rangers.
Never envisioned the Padres as a destination for Cease. Probably the 4th-best team in that division.
Musgrove, Cease, Darvish is a pretty strong top 3, and they still have Xander, Machado, Tatis, among others in that lineup. It is a weird trade though, maybe Preller got bored and wanted to do something.
Not an impressive group. Kind of a bunch of crap. Would have expected at least one top five prospect. The one pitcher with good numbers tops out at 92.
Padres probably trade him next off season for a better package.

Straight up one for one and assuming we dont sign Lopez to make up the salary difference, I would probably have done that too. It would put us in great shape for 2 years to win it all. But a deal probably is AJSS + Waldrep + Vaught or another decent prospect. And we just cant do that. We have to have some good young players to be able to afford all these stars. We cant afford to be paying 8-10 million a year to average or worse players to fill the holes on the team and then pay what its going to take to re-sign players like Acuna.

Braves signed Duvall. $3 million.

Adam Duvall signs a one-year, $3 million contract with #Braves
Fantastic move.
Wonder if Kelenics spring had anything to do with this (probably not) or if it was just always in the works and just waited on Duvall to see if he could get any better offers.

Either way, I feel much better now.
In my opinion, this is more a safety net for injury. Duvall is serviceable. Forest Wall is desperate.
It doesn’t hurt to have the option to give Kelenic some time off against tough LHP

Bowman says Braves have told Kelenic that he'll platoon with Duvall. Don't want to overreact, but them changing the plan paired with a dreadful spring for Kelenic seems concerning.
