Hellickson for Hunter Dozier, make it happen Klentak.

As amazing as that would be I doubt it would ever happen

If de la Rosa has to be traded, this is a team I would like to see him go to. JDLR for Bubba Starling would be something I would love to see happen. I have always thought Starling would make an excellent Rockie. His speed and defensive prowess would work very well in the huge Coors Field outfield.

The Rockies already have a full outfield. They would most likely trade for bullpen pieces

It seems the Royals sure do like to pick up washed up Braves. I did not realize Minor was part of their organization too.

Drew Pomeranz, melvin upton jr, little cash, and Andrew Cashner for bubba starling, ryan o hearn, matt strahm, alec mills, scott blewett, and hunter dozier.

I feel like I’d rather trade Pomeranz entirely separate from Upton. Id hate to diminish his return for saving a few bucks.

If their going to eat money to make anyone go away, it should be Kemp. BJ has been servicable and they will need a veteran presence for Renfroe, Jank, Dickerson, combination. Assuming Jay can go before the deadline too.
That’s 5 of the top 15 prospects for a pitching rental with uncertainty, a decent CF but very expensive (would take more than a little money), and a pitcher albeit doing well but in uncharted waters and never pitched a full season as a starter with 2 more years of control. I’m a Pads fan and think your ask is pretty unreasonable. OHern seems to only have value if you are not counting on Myers to be on the roster long. It has to stop somewhere and Myers is making a case to be that guy. Not saying you don’t make him prove it in 2017 before talking long term; but if healthy and on par with this year why woul they not build around Myers.
I interested in hearing the logic. I think Pom should stay actually and while BJ will be expensive next year; if he performs similar to this year it isn’t an outrageous overpay. My reach for Cashner and Norris was to try to get Profar from JD. A guy can hope..

Personally, preller should sell high on myers either at the deadline or at winter meetings. Padres don’t have a good recent track record holding onto guys recently- headley, ross, cashner. I’d trade myers while he’s peaking in value. Which is where O Hearn comes in as replacement.
If we package pomeranz with upton they may be able to only pay 1-2 mill a season. Sure knocks down the value of pomeranz but hearn, blewett, dozier, starling, mills, strahm is still a good package.
Sadly, i dont think we can move kemp without eating a ton of money. My suggestion would be try kemp at 1st. Hes awful in RF but if he’s decent enough at 1st teams may not be as weary paying a 1B/DH type what he’s making.

Dozier is not going anywhere, with Moose out of contract after next year. I’m sure they would listen on Bubba, probably in AAA for more visibility. Hellickson could probably be had for a lower level prospect or two.
