But way more expensive.
Other than the rumored Walker thing, i dont see where we fit in this.
If they feel they can make a run this year, they might feel it's worth it. I could see it being Gattis and Upton with us getting something else.
How doesn't it? Pads have a hole a catcher now after trading Grandal. Gattis would fill that.
Unless Hedges is part of the trade for Myers to Tampa
Gattis for Myers straight up makes no sense for SD.
Both players have the same service time and are super cheap. If the Pads think he can stick at catcher then he's certainly worth Myers. 20-30 homer catchers have a decent bit of value as well.
It isn't as lopsided as you might think. But again, it would be contingent on how the Pads view Gattis long term @ catcher. Hell, we reportedly asked for Ventura/Duffey from the Royals in exchange for Gattis, so we clearly think he holds quite a bit of value.

Why do I get the feeling we're going to be left at the altar? LOL

Lets hear some 3-way trade scenarios :-)
Me, Anna Kournikova, and Maria Sharapova.
I don't see that happening either, I meant more that I certainly could see us being happy with such a return. Of course for both Myers and Walker to be involved that would take four teams being involved in the end rather than just three. However, I wouldn't rule us out yet as the third team involved in a three-team trade. It would make sense for us to target Myers, esp. if we cannot get someone like Walker from Seattle.
That said, I am not saying Justin Upton alone for our part would get such a deal done.
Here's the latest from Marc Topkin:
@TBTimes_Rays
Many questions about #Rays Myers deal, but no sense speculating yet on who ends up where w/out knowing if it's happening or how many teams
Why wouldn't SD just keep Myers though?
I would expect they would if he was their target, but maybe they were brought in for match-up purposes. Maybe they are doing it for another player or package of players they want.
Time will tell.
Per MLBTR:
DECEMBER 16, 12:02am: A big deal is in the works between San Diego and Tampa, but it will not go through until the morning at the earliest, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com tweets.
Nobody wants to see that.
@JeffPassan
Sounds like one of the pieces in the proposed Wil Myers trade might be on the way to Washington, which has insinuated itself into the deal.
Well, Sharapova is a known lesbian so she would probably push Niners out of the way in like two seconds for the really good stuff.
That's literally the last thing I wanted to read this morning.
