Padres Looking To Trade For Left Field Help

By Mark Polishuk | May 25, 2025 at 10:59pm CDT

No team in baseball has gotten less from the left field position this season than the Padres, whose left fielders have combined for an unimpressive –0.7 bWAR over the team’s first 50 games.  While the trade deadline is over two months away, it isn’t surprising that this glaring weakness is already on the radar, as Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune writes that “the Padres have begun exploring the trade market for a left fielder.”

The list of internal options got even thinner on Saturday when San Diego placed Jason Heyward on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain.  The severity of Heyward’s strain isn’t yet known, but even a minor oblique issue usually means at least a few weeks of recovery time, which deals another blow to what has already been a rough season for the veteran outfielder.  Heyward is hitting only .176/.223/.271 over 95 plate appearances, and he already missed 10 days of action in April due to an earlier IL stint for left knee inflammation.

Luis Campusano was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move for Heyward, technically giving the Padres three catchers on the roster between Campusano, Elias Diaz, and Martin Maldonado.  However, manager Mike Shildt indicated that Campusano will act as the Padres’ DH against left-handed pitching, and could also get some time as a first baseman.  Either deployment could free up Gavin Sheets to spend more time in left field, and the combination of Sheets, Brandon Lockridge, and utilityman Tyler Wade are expected to handle left field duties until Heyward is healthy or perhaps until a new addition joins the team.

After Jurickson Profar departed in free agency, San Diego signed Heyward and Connor Joe to one-year, $1MM free agent contracts with the idea that the two veterans could form an inexpensive left field platoon.  Those plans went awry due to Heyward’s struggles and the Padres’ preference to give prospect Lockridge more of an extended look at the MLB level, so Joe (who appeared in only seven big league games for the Friars) was dealt to the Reds earlier this month.  Oscar Gonzalez was also released earlier this week so he could sign with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of NPB, as the Padres parted ways with another under-performing outfielder.

Lockridge is hitting just .197/.258/.262 over 68 PA, and rookie Tirso Ornelas also hasn’t done much in limited playing time.  Sheets is enjoying a very nice year at the plate but he is a defensive liability as a regular outfielder, plus regular usage in left field would also create another lineup hole since Sheets would spend less time in the first base/DH mix.

Given that the Friars acquired Luis Arraez from the Marlins in early May 2024, it wouldn’t necessarily be a shock if president of baseball operations A.J. Preller moved sooner rather than later on a significant addition.  That said, the Arraez trade was something of a perfect storm of circumstances, as most out-of-contention teams wait until much closer to the deadline to start unloading their top trade chips.  Landing the left-field equivalent of an established regular like Arraez is also not simple, as the Padres might for now just be looking for more part-time or platoon types.

Since it is only late May, struggling teams like the Orioles or Pirates will likely see how June plays out before moving fully into sell mode.  If Baltimore can’t turn around its shocking disappointing season, such outfielders and impending free agents as Cedric Mullins, Ryan O’Hearn, or Ramon Laureano could all be of interest to outfield-needy teams like the Padres.  Tommy Pham is having a rough year for the Pirates and might be available earlier, but despite Pham’s struggles, the ex-Padre might get some consideration from his former team.

Looking at teams who are already in clear sell mode, White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi is probably too expensive to merit serious trade consideration unless Chicago eats the majority of Benintendi’s remaining salary.  Mike Tauchman, Michael A. Taylor or Austin Slater also figure to all be available as deadline rentals.  Another early trade with the Marlins might be possible since Jesus Sanchez is readily available, yet Sanchez hasn’t hit much in 2025.  The Rockies figure to be open to moving anyone besides their most prized younger players, though Colorado’s roster doesn’t offer much in the way of a clear upgrade for San Diego.

    When you get a DEAD BALL it doesn’t matter who is on your roster.

    Padres need to protest MLB giving them the dead ball.

          It’s obvious that stuff like this goes on. We already know that the so-called Goldilocks balls were used in Yankee games in 2022. And who knows what else they’re doing? The NFL is heavily rigged and all other sports are to varying degrees.

          Gwynning truth is stranger than fiction.

          You know that.

          History speaks for itself.

          What no one lies?

          The Astros won the WS legitimately?

          Steroids in the 90 were just creatine and ground breaking physical enhancements?

          Spit balls weren’t banned because they altered the ball suppressing offense?

          Corked bats?

          To simplify the argument. Try playing basketball with a bowling ball.

          Just because the ball looks the same to the naked eye doesn’t mean it plays the same.

          Also MLB took.over the manufacturing of the ball and manufactures it in house.

          Oh and see Meredith Wills.

          Don’t forget the magnets. People always forget about the magnets. The magnets in the balls. The magnets in the bats. The magnets in the catcher’s mitt. Magnets are everywhere.

          And cameras. The cameras in the balls allow them to alter spin rates and velocity.

          They’re experimenting with cloud seeding now as well. This is why they’re playing in bad conditions more frequently. They seed the cloud so that when it rains over the park it makes people spend more money on concessions and merchandise. Some sort of chemical that’s embedded in the cloud seeds affects their decision making process.

          Just bc there have been other transgressions/suspect occurrences doesn’t mean you are justified in lodging accusations absent any evidence. That’s just conspiracy theory nuttery. It’s a dangerous road you walk where your reason has betrayed you and you feel justified in believing any theory absent evidence bc you’ve seen a conspiracy theory bear fruit in the past. That bed of logic is the only way to guarantee that you possess no logical foundation at all.

          The data is there.

          The Padres have some of the fewest home run totals in baseball. The Padres have some of the weakest contact in baseball. The Padres several years ago, were a team that was known as Slam Diego. They have roughly the same personnell, core wise.The Padres average some of the highest ground ball rates in baseball. There is data that supports this claim this is not just a shot in the dark there is substantial data that supports this.

          Weak contact and ground balls have more to do with not resulting in home runs than the ball. Launch angle and solid contact seem to lead to more home runs than weak grounders.

          @Towinagain – Welcome to baseball. Some years, entire teams put together an amazing season (see Boston Red Sox in 2018), and their offensive numbers are off the charts. Then the following year, things regress back to normal or even a little worse than normal and the difference appears striking because of such an amazing season the year before.

          Sure, it is possible that there are still different types of balls out there, but in order to sell me on San Diego being victimized by low performing baseballs, how are the other teams doing against them vs. in other parks? Are other teams performances against San Diego much weaker than they are against the other teams they play? They’d be using the same balls as San Diego when they play them so you should research how these other teams are playing vs. SD and if they are performing just as poorly as SD is, then you might be on to something. Personally, I think it is just the nature of baseball. Some years are great, others are not, even with mostly the same players on the roster.

          “The nickname “Slam Diego” was coined during a series between the San Diego Padres and the Texas Rangers in August 2020, specifically after the Padres became the first team in MLB history to hit grand slams in four consecutive games. The term was popularized by Fox Sports San Diego play-by-play announcer Don Orsillo. The Padres achieved this feat after Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a grand slam, followed by Wil Myers, Manny Machado, and finally, Eric Hosmer.” That’s just 5 years ago and from the data below from Baseball Reference, Padres didn’t hit above league avg. till 2020.

          But the Padres have otherwise never been a top tier slugging offense despite the “slam Diego” name, above average last 3 years yes, but not in top 10 except 2024 and 2020.

          Padres offense since 2012, Runs scored, league Avg, Home runs, league avg.

          2025 213R 229LA 48HR 57LA
          Both below league avg., regression from 2024 so far.
          (Profar, Higashioka, Kim gone, that’s also what you get from signing Y. Gurriel as DH and get little production from DH position after released. Padres do have fewest strikeouts in MLB, but below avg in R, HR, RBI, 2B, BB, ~MLB avg in BA, SLG, OPS)

          Could it be that key players haven’t performed, they are now 5 years older from 2020, and Petco has always been a pitcher’s park? IMO, Padres have only recently been a bit over league average and that core players from those teams (Soto, Profar, Kim, Higashioka, etc. are all gone due to budget, so why you can’t accept the team is underperforming, rather than creating a conspiracy theory that there’s a “dead ball” for just the Padres? Sheesh.

          2023 752R 748LA 205HR 196LA (w/Soto, Tatis, Machado)

        In order to coninue the market disparity narrative and drive down player salaries, MLB uses a dead ball.

        The dead ball suppresses offense.

        Organizations like the Padres who are perceived as a small market club have begun to sign higher priced free agents.

        A small to mid market club signing high priced free agents sets a dangerous precedent for other small market clubs.

        Other small market fan bases may began to expect or demand it.

        Furthermore, suppressing offensive output from.star players creates a perception that they are “overvalued”.

        Soto’s struggles have lead fans to assert that he is “overpaid”.

        His contract with the Mets and substantial decrease in output further allows MLB to “argue” that young, cheap homegrown talent from a team like the Tigers can accomplish just as much.

        The dead ball and non-standardized strike zone allow for MLB to control the outcome/manipulate the games themselves.

        Players are at the mercy of the equipment in play and an inconsistent strike zone.

          Even if there was any truth to this, it would affect the hitters on all teams more or less equally.

          It would also drive up the cost of free agent pitching (and glove first position players to a degree) in exchange for lowering the market for free agent hitters.

          @town – all that the data you listed supports is that most of the Padres hitters and/or their coaches suck, plain and simple.

          The data of their hard hit rates being down proves that their hard hit rates are down, that is all, it does not prove that they are being thrown bowling balls.

          Their launch angles being down proves that their launch angles are down, not that they are being thrown bowling balls.

          etc.

          I have to assume that you also most definitely believe that all the Padres fans in the stands in both San Diego and on the road are all plants by Manfred too, since not a single foul “bowling” ball into the stands during all of San Diego’s at-bats has been has been accused of weighing any different whatsoever.

          That would also mean San Diego’s own ball-boy/girls as well are in on the conspiracy against their own team. And every single umpire that has called their games. And every single opposing pitcher they have faced. And every single opposing catcher they have faced. You look like an absolute clown in this thread dude.

          So there you have it, you’ve yet to provide a single shred of actual evidence for your outlandish conspiracy and every attempt to do so just further proves you are a certified knucklehead.

          I’m not sure how you could watch this team over the past few weeks and say, yup, it’s that damn ball. Lots of crap contact, so few drives to the outfield that’s it’s not like they’re dying on the track or even 40′ from the fence. Lots of groundballs and soft contact.

          Changing the ball for ALL TEAMS doesn’t target a single team like the Padres as not being permitted to win a Championship. Even if it’s true, someone has to win with the dead ball. If it’s harder for the Padres to hit the ball, then they need to pitch better.

      Was MLB using “juiced baseballs” in 2020?!

      I dunno!

      But, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about it.

      So, perhaps the Padres increased offense in 2020 was in line with increased offense all over MLB?!

      The following was an “AI Answer” spit out in a search engine
      and not my own personal opinion since I have not really focused on this issue.

      “Some evidence suggests that the MLB did use a “juiced” baseball in 2020. While MLB officials and Rawlings, the ball manufacturer, have denied intentional alterations,
      A 2020 Astros report indicates that a portion of the baseballs used in 2020 were smaller and lighter than before, likely leading to increased offensive output.
      Here’s a more detailed look:
      The “Juiced” Ball Theory:
      The theory suggests that MLB baseballs have been deliberately altered to increase scoring.
      2020 Season:
      A portion of the 2020 baseballs were reportedly smaller and lighter, which could have led to them flying farther and contributing to higher home run totals.
      MLB and Rawlings’ Denials:
      Both the MLB and Rawlings have consistently denied that the baseballs were intentionally altered.
      Possible Explanation:
      The changes in the baseballs could have been unintentional, resulting from variations in production or material.
      Postseason:
      The MLB acknowledged that Rawlings did implement experimental changes for a portion of 2020 production, but they stated that the balls were within specifications, the changes were actually intended to reduce spring, and the balls were not used in games.
      2021 Season:
      The MLB planned to return to a “deadened ball” in 2021, but due to production issues related to the pandemic, they ended up using a mix of both “juiced” and “deadened” balls during the season.
      Ongoing Debate:
      The debate continues about the extent to which the baseballs were altered and the impact on the game”.

          They were talking about this today on MLB Network radio. The points they covered:
          Without the steroids would there be an increase in productivity? Profar’s productivity was pretty bad the last month of spring training and early this season before the suspension.
          Would 2 months of potentially bad productivity be worth it just to not have any production from him during the playoffs?
          They didn’t believe think many teams would think it was worth the risk. I don’t either.

          I see their point. If you pick up Profar, then you have to go back to the “guy sitting at home on the couch” to fill your LF hole for the playoffs without him having had the benefit of playing consistently in the regular season down the stretch.

          I guess if a team thought Profar would be the difference between making the playoff at all and going golfing in October, I can see them picking him up. But then that would be a team that would not be destined to go deep in the playoffs. Better to make a trade for someone that can help you July to September and in October, even if its a rental.

          If they are going to make a trade for a LF, which I don’t think they will, I would rather see the Padres work out something for a guy like Mullins. Pop in the bat. Plays good enough defense to be a CF in Baltimore. Only making $8.75 million and a FA at season’s end.

      If Reynolds wasn’t owed $82 million between now and 2030, his age 35 season, I would say that is a great call.

      He had a 3.6 WAR last year and averaged 3.0 WAR and 119 OPS+, so he has played at about a 20% above average level.

      I doubt the Pirates would be willing to buy down much of his deal and since he has a negative WAR right now that is exactly what they would have to do to if they wanted to get any decent prospects back in a trade involving Reynolds.

      Padres don’t want that contract. If the Braves set him free (not happening), once cleared, Preller would scoop him up in a second. If Atlanta took on the majority of his contract, its a possibility, but don’t see Preller giving up hardly anything to get him.

      SD wanted nothing to do with Profar and 45 mil (thankfully). It would seem as if no other team did as well based on the non rumors and rather late signing. AJ most likely gave him an amount early on that would allow him to stay in SD and Profar waited it out until his preferred contract finally came up from ATL and he jumped on it – which he should have. Yes, I think SD would sign him if released though and he would very likely pick SD out of all other offers. There is no trade for him in my opinion even if Atl eats most of salary.

      I was suspicious of Profar’s “breakout season” last year @ the age of 31 after 12 seasons in MLB of mostly average and below average numbers.

      Apparently, MLB and others were suspicious also.
      Random drug testing confirmed the league’s suspicions.

      Padres should distance themselves from Profar.

        SF – no sure when Pro took what he took or whether or not it assisted his 24 breakout season. Could be.

        However “random” drug testing by definition is random and does not therefore, follow suspicion.

        What I really don’t get is how he could be tested during the 24 season (presumably late in September?) and it was not disclosed to teams considering him in free agency until 6 months or so later. I find that strange and in need of correction.

      Seems like a perfect fit, but I wonder what a potential trade would look like.

      As a Sox fan, I think out of Duran/Rafaela/Abreu, I would rather trade Duran. I love Rafaela’s glove in CF, and honestly not sure how much they would get in return with the contract (as in if he was still on his rookie deal, he probably is more valuable). I feel like Abreu has the highest ceiling with his bat, so would like to hold onto him.

        Abreu’s power has been very surprising and may be sustainable to a degree given his substantially improved bat speed this season. But that potential doesn’t surpass what Duran has already accomplished on the field. He was a legitimate mvp candidate. Though he’s struggled this season at times he also improved his bat speed by 2 mph in season last year that helped him produce big offensive numbers last summer. There’s reason to believe he’ll do the same this year given we’ve seen his progression and actual performance whereas abreu hasn’t sustained excellence yet. My point is simply that Duran maintains the highest ceiling as he has in fact done it and the data backs up the performance. Abreu certainly has upside but to say he has the highest is just recency bias.

      I don’t know what the Padres can trade that works for the Red Sox. The Red Sox could use a Dylan Cease but trading a controllable, young OF for a larger contract that is expiring this year doesn’t work one for one. The Padres would probably have to take back a Giolito and put decent prospect in the deal or bullpen arm in the deal.

        Lol, Rafaela has a 1.8 BWar atm, which projects to 5.6 at seasons end if he continues.

        Rafaela ranks in the 100th percentile for defensive outfielders. Meaning he is one of the best defensive OFers there is. (Respect to Crow-Armstrong). He also ranks in the 97th percentile for baserunning, meaning he’s fast and smart on the basepaths.

        Many Red Sox fans are limited in their understanding of baseball, as demonstrated by their listing of BA or OBP as their sole criteria for good or bad players. Currently, Rafaela is making $1.25M on his contract (an absolute steal), and is locked up until his age 30 season, which only tops out at $13M. As an intelligent Red Sox fan, they better not trade him.

          Because of its strange configuration (massive curve to Pesky’s Pole, wall thats only 4 feet high forcing you to deal directly with fans, etc), right field at Fenway is one of the most difficult places to field in all of baseball. Abreu handles it like a champ and would be difficult to replace. We’ll take Abreu’s gold glove and .847 OPS, even if it mostly comes from righty pitchers.

          Projected 5.9 BWar for the season and Pads fans dont want to give up decent value for him. We’re good, move along now.

          ————-
          So Abreu would be the best defender and the third best hitter in the Padres lineup. But ‘Oh No! What about those 24 ABs against left handed pitching. He’s only worth a #4 starter.’

          If hitting lefties is so important, shouldnt it affect his numbers more? You people cant see the forest thru the trees.

      Mullins looks like he is already playing for the Padres. Big April hitting for power and walking 20 times (25 k’s) with a line .278/.412/.515. In May he has walked twice (22 K’s) and hit .164/.184/.384.

      This list of trade targets is one sad bunch.

        Mullins is a very streaky player. It’s why he’s never duplicated his star season as that was just a sustained hot streak. In recent years he’s had consistent long periods of hit and cold. The good thing is that his defense is much better than the metrics indicate – his speed and read on balls evidence He’s still a shine average defensive cfer. He’d probably be truly elite in LF. Elite defense, plus speed, and an average bat is still a very valuable player who could greatly improve the padres OF defense and stretch the bottom half of their lineup.

        Bogaerts with $$$ attached paying the full last three years on his deal is a starting point… or, take yoshida to offset the backend of bogey.

        Then the question is throwing in a prospect of varied quality or a RP to even out which of duran/abreu/rafaela were talking.

        It’s a mirage, but if Yoshi could play LF passably, how close is Bogaerts for Yoshida + Story? I reckon that the Story + Yoshi’s salary takes Bogaerts average down to ~ $14.6M.

        Bogaerts is overpaid by $100M, but Story is painful to watch hit. And maybe a change of scenery might work out for all three players.

          That would be an interesting scenario of Story and Yoshida being sent to SD for Boegarts. From today through 2027 Story is owed 70.75m, Yoshida is owed 50.25m. So 121m over the next 2.67 years. During that same time the Padres will be paying Boegarts 68m.

          I don’t think the Padres would (or could) take on the large increase in short term commitment. The Sox kicking in the salary difference through 2027 with the Padres paying Boegarts last two years might make it more feasible.

          That’s a tough one. It would be awesome (from SD’s POV) to free up cash in 2028-2031, but Story looks like a release candidate today and with Yoshida having shoulder surgery who knows what you’re getting from him even as a DH.

          What about Boegarts, Robert Saurez and cash for Story and Duran? The Padres would pay 10m/yr of Boegarts salary from 2029-2033.

          His health was fine in spring training when he was smacking the ball around, they used the “rehabbing shoulder to play LF again” as an excuse to manipulate him off of the 40-man roster and make room for Devers at DH, plain and simple.

          It’s damn near criminal the way they’ve treated Yoshida tbh, but obviously Devers is the better DH if thats the only spot for Yoshida, which sadly seems to be the case.

          You cant do that. The salaries are AAV when charged against the Salary Threshold. Bogaerts is charging 25,454,545 against the cap every year. You cant pick years you want someone else to pay.

          And the Red Sox would be crazy to take Bogaerts. They do not have salary cap issues right now. In 5 years from now, as young players cost more, they will. Story and Yoshida will be off the cap by then, while Bogaerts would be drawing the number down by $25+M every year until 2033.

      Reynolds is also making real money for the next several years. In order to sell low on him (which the bucs are not going to do) they would need to eat a good portion of the contract which might not even be enough for sd’s payroll limitations. And there’s absolutely no way nutting is going to do that even if there was a chance that Pitt would trade one of the few guys on their roster with any offensive ceiling/upside.

      Leo Devries is untouchable
      unless Boston or another team is willing to

      Ditto with Ethan Salas.

      Both those cornerstone players could be playing in San Diego
      by mid 2026 or early 2027 at the latest.

      Padres have made them completely untouchable
      (unless some GM blows them away with Juan Soto
      type deals for each of those future star players.

      De Vries has already hit for the cycle this year
      and is a serious upgrade @ SS for the Padres.

      Padres should hold onto both those young players who will be making splashes in the majors like Jackson Merrill made last year.

      I think it’s way to soon to right off Campy as a AAAA player. He has 575 PA’s for his career and in 2023 through mid May in 2024 he was very good with the bat:

      318 PA
      .295/.336/.453 – 120 wRC+
      12.6 k%
      54 RBI’s, 45 runs

      I’m glad he’s on the roster. Diaz I guess is our best hitting catcher but he has stunk. He has 17 AB’s with 2 outs and runners in scoring position and is still waiting for his first hit. He has an OPS in the .400’s with runners on base period. 6 lousy RBI’s in 118 PA and 3 of those were himself via HR.

      In the scenario where it’s a close game and it’s getting late and you have Campy and Maldonado on the bench with Diaz up and much needed runs in base, I sure hope it’s Campusano getting the AB and Maldonado can go catch.

      I hope they DH Campusano and put Sheets in LF regularly to boost the lineup.

        That was a brief period – Pitchers caught on to his cold zones. He is a low average hitter — He does not bring to the table a good DH resume right now.

        He is at best a pinch hitter as you stated for low lying C’s — that is something of a problem to keep a rostered player you cannot play anywhere and get good production. I Hope the best for him but he is a .300 hitter in minors and low .220 (career .247) hitter in MLB.

        I think he would do well in Japan

        Campusano’s glove hand was hurt by a swing by a Dodgers player on May 12th last season. After that his season went downhill. He can hit in the majors when healthy. If the Padres don’t think he is the future behind the plate, platoon him at DH/1B.

      Colas might turn into another Gavin Sheets, and he’s young he’s 26. Definitely has a shot to be unlocked.

      I think giving CT3 a month w a regular job would be worth a shot. as a Dodger fan its hard not to think its over watching him at the plate the last few years but in the end he was playing maybe once a week. hard to get anything going. be tough to see him in a SD uni but I’d be rooting for him. doesn’t cost much to take a look either.

        I think that is about as much time as he will have in OC. If Moore continues to hit at AAA then Taylor is just holding a seat for him.

Bleday is a nightmare in CF . Look at a Steve Urkel Gif of him making faces . This how you look when a ball is hit to CF . He has no place on the A’s anymore.

    The Padres should extend Arreaz as soon as possible, Arreaz makes that team click.

    They should also trade their starters, Cease and King, and shouldnt worry about an OF this season.

    But, if they decide to play for the WS in ’25, and are looking to add an OF, Luis Robert could be a Padre next week for relatively little in return.

      If they extend Arraez it gets interesting in the not too distant future when Leo De Vries becomes the teams SS. With how aggressive the team is with their top prospects I fully expect him to be there by opening day 2027.

      You would then have Boegarts, Cronenworth and Arraez signed long term for 1b, 2b & DH.

      Love Arraez but that scenario does give me some serious pause. Not to mention his free agent market likely isn’t going to be so strong that you have to fret getting him locked up before then. Maybe his market isn’t great and he takes a 2 year deal with the 2nd year being a player option which would be ideal keeping for 2026 and not way beyond.

          Its doubtful that Salas will get a call up next season. He is hurt right now and will not be back until mid-July. While Salas’ defense and game generalship is strong enough that most scouts and other baseball execs think he could do great at that part of the game in the majors right now, MLB catchers still need to hit at least their weight or close to it. I have doubts that he can right now. Maybe after his back heals. I think he spends the rest of this season in AA and next season he splits between AA and AAA then is called up to start the 2027 season at age 20.

          De Vries is another story, Padres personnel I spoke with in Fort Wayne felt that he may not be with the team by the break. That he will get a call up to AA by late June or early July. That would put him on track to join the Padres mid-2026. He truly is “El Mutante”.

      Stowers is 27 years old has a .394 BABip and a HR% that is more than double his career average. His BA will drop 80 points, his SLG 80-100 points, and his OPS 160-180 points by the end of the season. That means the Padres would be buying his declining phase this season.

      Alcantara is toast. 8.04 ERA and is owed nearly $30 million.

      Take Suarez and Bateman out of that, replace them with a relief prospect like Rodriguez or Haynes and it might be a trade worth making for the Padres if the Marlins are willing to eat half of what Alcantara is owed.

          Yoshida is a detriment to any trade. He is owed so much money and is at best a platoon DH. Including him in the trade that means after eating $40 million, the Red Sox will have to include a player of value in order to get anything of value back. Abreu has good value, even if he is a defense first platoon OF.

          Without Abreu the Red Sox would have to eat $45.8 million of Yoshida’s remaining salary owed or all except the major league minimum for 2025-2027 plus include a mid=level prospect like Fitts and accept a couple of low to mid level prospects in return for Yoshida.

          The way to think about his value in trade is this, if Yoshida was a FA right now, what would he sign for? 1 year and $3-4 million is the consensus.

    1. Drew Thorpe wasn’t the only prospect they gave up in that trade.
    2. Cease has a 4.58 ERA so far this year.
    3. Cease is GAWN after 2025 and at this rate I’m not even sure they go to the QO.
