Interested in Happ for nothing?
They also need 40 man room because they want to make a few signings, Yankees are another good spot to look to grab some pieces without giving up much. |

This would be smart... but DM has already said implicitly that we aren't open for business this offseason. Wait around for the arms to arrive, lose 90+ games again. Wash, rinse, repeat. |

Does manager call for two intentional walks thereafter due to two tough righties coming up in the lineup? |

What I think this means is that the situational lefty and situational righty are out of jobs from now on. This is great news for left handed hitters. And great news for anyone who has been bored by the high strikeout numbers in late innings. Teams are going to have fewer opportunities to maximize reliever value. Relievers are going to have to be better at getting opposite-handed hitters out than in previous years. |

I know what I would do with him: package him with Kennedy to the Padres for Myers and prospects. I don’t know if they could pry The Arias kid away - he posted a strong OPS with strong SS defense - but that would be my first ask. Myers, Edward Olivares, Anderson Espinoza and Buddy Reed would work for me. |

They view Tatis and Abrams as their future MI. I think a really interesting idea is to move Dozier. |

Even without paying any of Kennedy’s deal, you’re clearing them of $50 million in contract on the swaps. And including a solid reliever with 4-5 years of cheap control. That’s why I include Hill in the deal. Kennedy helps them this year, too. Kennedy/Munoz/PomeranZ/Yates is an imposing back-end. |

Paying for prospects by taking on bad contracts while you suck isn't a horrible idea. But nah we're busy trying to keep the ghost of Alex Gordon. |

Real question, do we think baseball will consider expanding again at some point?

To be honest, the MLB has a much more legit reason to expand to Japan than the NFL does to London, but I doubt that would ever happen. |

That deal helps them win games in 2020 and would also give them long-term payroll flexibility. I think they'd be smart to consider it. |

Wil Myers is like the worst fit ever in SD.
Or another SD malcontent.....What about taking The Faux-Hawk back? Maybe he’s happier here? Maybe they could eat 50 of the 100 left and we are at a 6/50 type of deal. Idk just tossing out ideas, don’t hate me |
