skinswillwin06 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 If the team was remotely competitive I think I would have found that funny. But it's just kind of sad when you are 32 games below 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinswillwin06 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Me because the guy gets picked off every other game and throws to the wrong base at least once the rest of the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDoyler23 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I saw the Robles video and it was much more tame than I thought it would be. He sorta twisted through the follow through and watched it for an extra split second. Getting pissed about that says more about Bumgarner than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @Spaceman Spiff, your boys really impressed me this weekend. They went into a really hostile environment and battled the Yankees on their turf. Very impressive. They got something going there. I also saw a tweet that said the Cardinals were the front runner for Soto. Here are their Top 30: https://www.mlb.com/prospects/cardinals/ If rumors are true, we'd get at least their top 3 on that list--Jordan Walker being the #1 get. Plus a few others. I hope you guys get a massive haul for Soto. I thought the Padres were a front runner with Gore/Abrams being the headliners but this Cardinals news is interesting. And yeah, the Orioles did alright until the last game which was a bit of a clunker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if he does get traded, I’d like to see the Padres and Cardinals try to outcompete each other. SD: Gore/Abrams/Hassell/Wood/Haynes + Merrill StL: Walker, Donovan, Liberatore, Graceffo, Nunez, + Gorman/Carlson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course no one wants to trade Soto--but given the situation, and that Boras is a soulless greed demon, there is a single-digit percent chance they resign him. They have to trade him.

I don’t see Seattle having the pitching prospect like SD and StL have. And I wouldn’t say “no one” wants to trade Soto. After all, he is hitting sub .250. 🤣 I’d set a very, very high bar to trade him this deadline. If it’s not met, you have a whole year to work on the extension and you’ll likely be able to get a great return next deadline. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mammajamma Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 "insiders" on twitter think Soto to SD is pretty much a done deal. I've seen this before with max though. You guys think Riz will throw one more offer at Soto before accepting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer doing it now to maximize value. I'll also be surprised if they actually pull the trigger, but we'll see. Whether he's traded or not, I'm 100% convinced he isn't signing **** until free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. just curious if Rizzo will try 1 more deal at him before the deadline, especially since there's still some time. based on some these offers ive seen, im pretty confident he's gone by next week if they don't throw him one more offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I wonder if they've been getting input on this from prospective buyers. If I was the new owner, making a can't refuse type of offer, regardless of whether it's accepted or not, would be a good way to drum up good will with the fan base. Is the franchise really more valuable with prospects than a marquee star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
