I have question I’m sure even the knowledgeable Anthony Franco can’t answer.
When and what will the Padres do this offseason?
When will the first significant move be made by the Padres?
Don’t think they do anything until Sasaki signs.
Would the Padres consider trading Tatis Jr? Could Tatis move back to SS?
For 10 picks.
Ok, for the sake of playing the Devils Advocate, yes I’m sure they’d entertain the idea.
Here is the problem…
The message it sends to fans.
“Clearing Salary” or rather a “Salary Dump” which is akin to a drum roll please…Firesale.
For fans to sign off on the trade, a bona fide ace would have to be in the deal, coupled with a well “platinum” glove outfielder, who can steal bases and hit 30 plus home runs.
Also add a firtbaseman to the mix.
My point is, it’d have to be an enormous haul or Petco would be empty.
Who do u think Alex Bregman sign with?
And who will the Astros get to play right field in 2025.
