- Padres do basically nothing at the trade deadline and it's ok except for Justin Upton. Getting a compensation 1st round pick that has a probability of making the majors at 2:3. That ratio simply implies making a roster eventually and not being an impact player. Compensation picks are great for teams that are good. Good teams will have patience developing talent bc their major league roster is already good. A 1st rd pick time frame of making the bigs is not quick in 98% of cases.
- Huge win for the Padres with not moving Tyson Ross. I can't imagine what deal would have returned a part that I would have liked with moving that asset.
- Really hope season ticket renewals and ASG sales didn't play a MAJOR factor in not making moves at the deadline. Don't worry about short term image in terms of long term success.
- Besides Upton - Every other player is fine with not moving at the deadline. Trade deadline is overrated if they return doesn't garner value. All those guys besides Upton can be moved in the Winter. Trade deadline is just sexier.
- Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski is either better at his job than Preller or just more respected/liked. He got great value from Mets for moving a player thats worse than Upton. Fulmer could be a stud.
- The future of the Padres are in the owners hands. If the team is serious about "reloading" as was stated by their super creepy president the suits upstairs will be forced to spend big. No other way around it. Current payroll as is is going up in 2016 without Upton and the current roster will be worse with the subtraction of their best bat.
- Where can I bet all my money that Kemp and Shields will be irrevocable waivers in 2 weeks?
Unfounded Hot Take Alert!!!
I GUARANTEE AJ Preller pissed off a lot of people today in the GM world. I can just feel it in my plums. I bet he had 10 huge complicated trades in the works and he played a game of chicken with multiple GM's that were looking to win now and now literally hate his soul.
