[Baseball Trade Values @BaseballValues]

Today the #Padres reportedly acquired RHP Jason Adam ($6.0M surplus trade value) from the #Rays in exchange for RHP Dylan Lesko ($9.7M), OF Homer Bush Jr. ($2.2M) and C J.D. Gonzalez ($2.2M).

The deal is rejected by our model as an overpay by San Diego.

The @Padres Are Set To Field a Lineup Of Shortstops

Yes, you read that correctly.

IF Jackson Merrill makes the team as a regular center fielder, the Padres could regularly field a lineup with a converted shortstop at every position other than catcher.

@craigmedy Let’s go down there. We can say we are from anywhere

[AJ Cassavell @AJCassavell]

Here’s a new one: Mike Shildt, asked about Tatis in right or center, deadpanned that he plans to petition the league for Tatis to hit both second and seventh, counting as both the right and center fielder. The Padres would play a man short, but Tatis would hit twice. Ok!

@craigmedy He’s 20!!! No need to rush his ass man. Might ruin him👎🏻

The Dodgers are deferring $857 million in player salary to 2033-2044, when it won't count against the luxury tax (assuming it exists). Their owners will have had 10+ years to compound their wealth, and grow ballclub revenues against artificially lower star salaries in the present, to essentially pay down those totals (assuming the US doesn't fall into deflation) at a fraction of their cost. They get real revenue boosts in the near term, and pay out cheaper dollars in the future. Time favors the club.

idk man Austin Hedges making twice as much as Shohei Ohtani in 2024 doesn't make a ton of sense to me

@craigmedy This is genius!!!

[Local Luke @MannsLuke]

@craigmedy No kidding!

[Local Luke @MannsLuke]

@craigmedy Couldn’t agree more

[jesse agler @jesseagler]

Peter Seidler asked about outside opinions on how he’s running the Padres: “I don’t spend too much time, if any, thinking about what other people are thinking…We’re here to win a title.”

[97.3 The Fan @973TheFanSD]

Bogaerts says watching the Padres beat the Dodgers and the Petco Park crowds in the NLDS was something that was fun to watch on TV.

[Gavin Lux truther @DeVriesBurner]

Padres just embarrassed us in the playoffs, then added Xander Bogaerts.

And we lost Trea Turner, Tyler Anderson, Andrew Heaney, and Chris Martin lol.
