One of those prospects was Matthews. Lol. Silly Padres.

CFTXAG10 said:The San Diego Padres, who were talking to the Houston Astros about starter Dylan Cease as the deadline expired, were asking for starter Spencer Arrighetti and three prospects in return.

The Astros declined.
Cease remains a Padre.
Hard pass
Seems like San Diego wasn't too serious about moving Cease unless they could refill the farm. Eff those turds.

We perfect addressed the 3B situation, added some INF depth (bye Short and Whitcomb), and landed the lefty handed bat we needed so badly. We got them all for multiple years and gave up very very little. AND stayed under the tax. Dana MF Brown is man. He's earned a spot up there with Click and Jeff.
I'm still shocked at how little prospect capital we gave up. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason with Parades coming back. If all of the twins money is hitting this year, then it'll make it hard to bring anybody in during free agency.
We also knock off Montero and Abreu's salary next year. And odds are we don't have Framber, so there is another amount off the books.
Great trade deadline for Dana and the baseball ops group. You made a statement without letting go of any "prospects". The Astros will be a force to be reckoned with in the postseason once again.
Will Rodgers give Correa the #1 jersey?

Quote:
Evaluators both inside and outside of the Astros' organization do not believe Paredes can handle second base on an everyday basis. Perhaps a winter's worth of work there could remedy that, but given the significant nature of his hamstring injury, it's worth wondering how normal of an offseason Paredes will have.
Making Paredes serviceable at second base is the most straightforward way to make Correa fit on the Astros' 2026 and 2027 rosters, but another option must be considered: making Peña available in trade talks.
Peña will be due for a substantial raise in his second year of arbitration eligibility. He hired agent Scott Boras to represent him earlier this season after deep extension talks with the Astros with his previous representation. Boras generally prefers his clients to eschew pre-arbitration extensions in favor of free agency.
Trading Kyle Tucker this winter strayed from the Astros' standard operating procedure, but did set the precedent that the Astros will at least explore deals for players they aren't likely to extend in order to supplement a barren farm system. Might Peña be the next domino?
The Cubs DFA'd Ryan Pressly as a corresponding roster move for Taylor Rogers, who was acquired from the Pirates for High-A outfielder Ivan Brethowr.

Haven't been following pressley but has he been that badp

Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Wouldn't mind having him back just for his playoff experience alone.

Not great, but doesn't seem bad enough to be DFA'd.....
He'd be an improvement over Neris.

I think he's washed. His last 5 games he's got an ERA of 12.6 and a whip of 1.8 and HR/9 of 7.2

Not sure about that.
Yea there's no way that is right.some speculationI guess the money from the Twins is front loaded? Guess Crane is intent to avoid going over two years in a row after all. 2027 could get funky. https://t.co/ziF5w3Dixl

So that's a little over $23 mil a season for 3 years for age 31-33 range for Correa, not crazy
Entirely depends on if he can stay on the field for those years...
yep, trading with the Padres is no bueno
Remember yesterday when Jeff Pissant said the Correa deal wasn't gonna happen?
Makes me wonder what selling high on JP could yield for this team. Haven't checked who will be in the market for a SS this offseason.

Rodgers can wear #1….
….for the Space Cowboys
Rodgers better give up numero uno or else!
Not gonna lie, I dream a bit on what kind of bounty you can get for Pena this offseason. It's a 1% chance they trade him but he could really net a lot of young guys.Mr. Awesome Time said:

I'd take Presley as a possible 6-7 inning guy. Not sure he would accept that but thats basically what he did for the Cubs.

I mean… are there hard feelings on his side? I'd love it but don't know if he wants that

Isn't he from the Northeast? Trade him to Boston for 4 of their best 5 prospects if he has to be traded. Or go west coast and send him to Dodgers for 4 of their best 5 prospects.
Man, I don't think I've ever seen anyone with such severe splits as Jesus Sanchez. He is dang near an elite hitter against RHP and absolutely futile against LHP.
These are his differences between RHP and LHP in the last 4 seasons
2022
RHP- .759
LHP- .309
2023
RHP- .808
LHP- .564
2024

LHP- .394

Pissant is a really unfortunate last name.

I wonder if we'll be able to fit Caratini, Sanchez and Trammel in the lineup often enough to start making them pitch some lefties against us
San Diego GM is higher than giraffe ***** asking for that return
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

speaking of the #1 jersey...
in the big picture...Carlos is back in the mix for jersey-in-the-rafters someday with 3 more good years of service
would be a 10-year player for the franchise from the World Series teams
What did padres want?
