They should try to ink a reasonable extension for Correia before he hits free agency – he has been dependable. Assuming that Young leaves (no way the Pads exercise that option, altho they could bring him back on a cheaper deal), Correia could provide some semblance of veteran leadership to their young staff.

If Correia continues to pitch well he will probably be gone by august.

Not if the Padres continue to play the way they are playing right now (not probable, but possible).

Yeah, I would be surprised if Correia sticks around with another solid year on the mound.
That team is clearly stockpiling young talent and Correia is one of their most marketable players.

Not if the Padres keep playing like contenders (as of now). I know, not probable, but possible.

It’d be strange to see the Padres being buyers on next years market. Wonder if they’d spread it around or go for a big ticket free agent. It’s not likely that they’ll have enough to extend AGon, especially since Howard just set the market so high. If they deal Gonzalez this year they’ll have plenty of money to spend but a lot of needs as well.

Not as many needs as you’d think, in my opinion. If Adrian’s traded and Blanks gets shifted to 1B, Hoyer could make a big splash for Carl Crawford after the season. He’d be perfect in San Diego and could potentially slide into the same spot in the lineup (#3) that Adrian’s filling right now. And at 29, he’d be worth shelling out a big contract to.
Daniel Walsh/Trevor
Carl Crawford would be perfect for San Diego but I doubt we could sign him
