Kimbrel/Melvin Trade Thread

Im not sure we are competitive in the next 3 years so I think the value of trading BJ is lowered. If we could have traded Kimbrel on his own and got more, then i would do that.

But good trade overall. Im guessing Pads wanted kimbrel so braves said take upton so Pads said take Maybin and Quentin.

Still solid pieces for devalued Kimbrel. We dont have a need for him under this contract.

The Braves aren't sending the Padres any money. The Padres get salary relief from dumping Quentin and Maybin. I believe that is what the writer at MLB Trade Rumors was referring to.

Yes.

And there is at least some hipe that Maybin hits outside of SD

Asterisks are options.

Of that group, only Price and Zimmerman are great SP. Good SP is fine but Johnny ****ing Cueto isn't a difference maker. Sure he wouldn't be a bad add at all. But he's not a 1. He's not a guy I throw money at.

Cueto isnt Felix/Kershaw/Bumgarner, etc, but when healthy he's a legit #1.

Yeah, considering Upton was attached I think we got real good value for Kimbrel. Wisler is highly regarded and scouts so far have liked Paroubecks bat.

What's the outlook on Maybin... He's gotta be an improvement over EY and Melvin, yes?

Maybin is very meh. He was really good in 2011, 12 he was solid, 13 he was hurt and terrible, 14 he was pretty bad. Pretty much equal to Bossman last year.

Him at his best is a good defensive CF with slightly below average offense.

How can it be a good trade with solid pieces in return? You just said we aren't competing in three years. What's the point then.
 
Nice trade anaylsis Yeezus. Do you add anything to the board? Instead of stating your opinion, you are worried abput mine?

Obsessed?

No, unless you consider like the 1 year or 2 years he's posted great numbers to just happen to be the healthy years. And why would you want to pay for a 30 year old with history of injuries?
 
I'm confused...how are the Padres getting 24 million in salary relief...even for this season they are taking on salary in the deal.
