If it is SD, the Pads still have OF Hunter Renfroe and pitchers like Matt Wisler, Max Fried and Casey Kelly.

The Pads already have a huge logjam in the of? Are they flipping Myers?

I'd be interested in either Kemp or Myers depending on price.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Highly doubt the Padres are flipping Myers. Hunter Renfroe seems to be the hot name.

Crasnick said the Mariners didn't want to deal Walker or Paxton. Olney brings up the possibility of Johnson perhaps being in the deal.

 

[COGPK]

I can't see Kemp. That deal with the Pads isn't a done deal anyway. I would consider Myers but whoever it is, don't flip out because Hart isn't done. We tend to start making out lineups after one deal. It isn't close to being over.

Also, keep this in mind: ATL has been asking teams interested in Upton to take 3B Chris Johnson, too. SD has a 3B vacancy.

They're apparently OK with playing Kemp in CF. Sounds like they might trade Smith to Seattle.

Buster Olney also reminding everyone that Padres might take Johnson to play 3B.

Ugh!

If we get Renfroe and or Wiseler and manager to get rid of Johnson at the same time this is a great trade.

Solarte is a better cheaper option for third than Chris Johnson.

Rosenthal reporting the Padres are getting Upton

 

[clvclv]

It's the Padres.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

It better be Upton & Johnson for Ross, Myers, Renfoe, Wiesler, & Kelly.

#Braves' return from #Padres for Upton figures to include at least one of three top prospects: Renfroe, Wisler or Hedges.

 

[DirkPiggler]

Hope it's not Hedges. We already have a young, athletic catcher who can't hit.

Myers is playing CF

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Man, are the Padres going all in or what?

 

[clvclv]

Crasnick confirms.

 

[Metaphysicist]

It better be Upton & Johnson for Ross, Myers, Renfoe, Wiesler, & Kelly.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we don't get all that.

 

[clvclv]

Fried plus.
