I truly don’t see the problem with San Diego going ahead and just dangling Pomeranz out there to pitching needy teams.
If they find a deal they cannot pass up, then by all means they should go ahead and trade him. If teams are unwilling to offer what the Padres demand for Pomeranz, then there really is no downside to holding onto him.
Some people might say, well he could get injured before the off-season, well so could any other major league player, for what that’s worth. Also, God forbid, but if he does get injured then he has plenty of time to regain his health before he becomes a free agent.
Not to mention, if a team is willing to pony up anything significant for him now, then he will be gone. So, if he stays a Padre and gets injured later on, then they obviously were not missing much anyways, in terms of a return for him.
As stated previously, even if him getting injured is the worst case scenario, then he can recover from his injury, come back healthy, and continue to build upon his value.
Time, demand, and just really the overall pitching market are ALL on the side of the Padres!!
The absolute LAST thing they should do is rush into a trade, accepting anything less than what they decide is maximum value for Pomeranz! That is truly the only way they can come out on the losing side of this situation..

Padres get anything worth trading pomeranz take the deal and run. Even if its a bit lighter they should take it. Look no further than chase headley ross and cashner. Padres didnt like the pirates offer for headley after a monstrous season, stayed pat, wound up w solarte and a pitcher. Ross and cashner are injured.
Im not saying preller made a mistake holding onto ross cashner, dont know the value he was offered, but if it was halfway decent and he held out for something just a bit better or pushed the envelope should have taken it.
If teams are low balling pomeranz stay put. If someone offers something decent dont look for an overpay.

Yeah that makes sense. If teams are willing to put out offers, then the Padres need to trade him, whether it’s at the deadline or the offseason. They are rebuilding, and a guy like Pomeranz serves as a perfect opportunity to get some future value.

If you can get enough to make it a no brainier then trade him.
Just get another arm or two back and hope Balsley can work the same magic.
From the O’s we’ll take Lee,Givens and Mountcastle.

I think walker instead of givens and we got a deal

They should trade him if they get a decent offer, but if not they aren’t forced to trade him at deadline and could reevaluate in the offseason. In general I doubt they compete by 2018 so he should be traded at some point.

The link points to the wrong Luis Perdomo.
I’m not pointing that out as an error, I’m more pointing it out because I am surprised to learn that there are two Luis Perdomos.

Wonder how the Padres would do in the AL West

SD doesn’t HAVE to trade him. They’re in a comfortable position either way. I could see Preller talking to his old boss, JDaniels in Texas about a deal for Pomeranz and/or Rodney. Texas has a pretty respected farm system and Preller knows many of the prospects very well.

I think his extreme pitch mix deserves mention as well. Can he stay effective and healthy throwing 50% curves? I have no idea. I bet the nontraditional arsenal depresses his value some, though.

Aww no poll?

We’ll do that when we do a “roundtable” on the subject tomorrow.

Remember, the Padres ask too much unless they are selling. I’d love to see Pomeranz moved to a contending team, but the way Preller operates, who knows.
