These TV deals are paying a ridiculous amount. I can’t see what the Reds can get in 2016 when they get a new deal. $30M is a big boost for the Pads considering there payroll was in the $40M range not too long ago.

I have doubts that Cahsner can hold up as a starter

Cashner has all the tools to be a good pitcher. The Padres have enough pitchers waiting in the wings and a very good pitching coach that the Padres should be able to play it smart with Cashner. He could be a very valuable commodity if not rushed.

Just an FYI Cashner had his first major league start in April, not September.

Let’s see if the Padres re-invest that money into their players.

With guys like Brach, Mikolas, Vincent, Quackenbush, Reyes and Boxberger in the minors likely contibuting to the bullpen in the future, it would be in the Padres best interest to move Cashner into the rotation if they think his shoulder can hold up. If it is just a mechanics thing I would think Balsley and Black could straighten things out for Cashner, they’ve worked miracles with guys with a lot less talent than he has. I also can’t wait to see how Volquez reacts to Balsleys’ tutelage.

At the time of the Ozzie Smith/Garry Templeton trade, it actually seemed to greatly favor the Padres.
At the time of the trade Templeton was a .300 hitter who had a couple of 200 hit seasons to his credit. Ozzie, while better defensively than Templeton, was a very poor hitter.
Post-trade, Ozzie Smith’s bat vastly improved, out of nowhere, at age 26 or 27. That never, ever happens. And it turned out Templeton’s knees had been damaged by playing on the rock-hard turf in St. Louis.
And Templeton was a bit of a punk. He’s the guy who refused to go to the All Star game because he wasn’t voted in as a starter. “If I ain’t startin’, I ain’t departin’.”
St. Louis was getting rid of a problem and taking whatever they could get. Funny how it turned out.

Garfinkel says the reported terms were too high because unless the Padres invest in some better players that 20% share of FSSD will be worth less at the end of the contract than right now.
