Re: Padres they’ve made all these moves exclusively from depth perspectives. It’s impressive work.
And the pieces they’ve acquired haven’t been rentals for this year only. Clevinger gives them a frontline guy to pair with Paddack and Gore and Luis Patino loving forward. They’re loaded to the gills with talent and will be the Dodgers main competitor for a long time.

The Indians took quantity over quality, the best pieces in that deal are Quantrill and Cantillo in the sense the Indians have shown they can work with pitchers...and I like Arias as a prospect but he was completely blocked and never gonna play in SD.
The Pads have 4 elite prospects and moved none of them, they moved their most divisive top 10 guy and the rest of them are fringe top 100 guys which also makes them sit on that fringe in the Padres rankings...
If you told me they would bolster their pen, fix their attrocius catching situation and land an ace pitcher and the biggest thing they'd give up is Taylor Trammel, I'd have probably laughed in your face.
