I just don't see Snell starting on 4/27 against Cincinnati.  Depending upon what Martinez does today against the Dodgers, i.e., how many innings he pitches, I can see Clevinger on either 27 or 28 April.  Snell hasn't even had a rehab start so I think he will be held out until after the 1 May roster reduction.

The Padres have tried to sign starter Joe Musgrove to an extension before the start of the season, but now that he’s been lights out this year (3-0 with a 2.16 ERA, 25 strikeouts in 25 innings through Saturday), he might as well wait, with a huge payday around the corner on the free-agent market.

Musgrove, 29, will be one of the most prized free agent starters along with Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Noah Syndergard, and Chris Bassitt.

Most of the local reports suggest he is willing to discuss an extension during the season and the Padres are willing to also. Unfortunately one report had the offer by the Padres ... in my judgement .... grossly under valued. However, it is a long season before the FA kicks in.

At 29 and pitching at upper rotation quality with the reputation of being a workhorse that posts up every game ... he will get a nice payday (from someone). Not yet "elite" as a DeGrom but up there and should get a multi-year deal in the $20-24MM AAV range. Basically and $11-15MM dollar increase over his 2022 contract.

Should be the Padres #1 priority signing considering that Manaea and Clevinger are also FA and, potentially, Martinez does not exercise his "player option" for about $6.5MM. Plus consider Darvish and Snell are FA after 2023 sending the SP into a potentially very dark space.

Not sure how long they will do it ... but the six man rotation looks to be the plan when Clevinger returns then not sure what happens when Snell arrives ... maybe Martinez to the pen ... maybe Gore to AAA ... maybe both with a return to a five man rotation.

I think the Berrios deal would be a good comparison for what a Musgrove deal might look like. He got 7/131, but he's only getting 10 this year in what would have been his last arbitration year. Something in the neighborhood of 20m a year seems fair. Maybe he gives us a discount and something in the high teens gets it done. If the report is accurate our last offer was very low.
