Quote from BoosterSD on December 15, 2022, 3:05 pmIn the same vein of go for it all, how about this trade.
SD gets Kirk. TOR gets Merrill and Lesko. Remember Kirk is from TJ and controllable for 4 more years.
Toronto says NO. If they trade one of the catchers is will be for someone to help them win now.

That is some good coin for a 16 year old in Venezuela.
Isnt that our entire international pool allotment? So no other international signings? Kid better be good, real good.
Probably going with the minimum $$ signings which don't count but yeah no other top guys this offseason.. Salas won't see the Dominican League though.. he is way too advanced..probably starts in AZ and could at LE..

I think for Kirk we have to be willing to part with Jake + Cristmatt.. Jays need/want MLB talent

Jansen on the other Hand maybe Rosario who is MLB ready and a need for Jays at 2B.. + Cristmatt and Zavala .. or something like that

I really don't want to move any of Zavala/Merrill/Salas/Lizarraga or Mazur as most (sans Salas) will likely be ready for the start of 2025.. if SDP is aggressive with Merrill maybe he can contribute in 2024..as could Mazur...
2023 is pretty set especially with 2 or 3 more adds (at any end of the spectrum).. need to bridge the gap SP wise for 2024.. and if AJP doesn't get too itchy (especially since the roster is almost set for the next decade (Machado and Soto kept) position wise... once we get beyond 2024 the influx/steady flow of top specs in the mound and on the field should start complimenting baseball Fearsome Foursome of Tatis/Soto/Manny and Soto..

LAD has turned into the 2014 SDP

What's the skinny on Edwin Diaz? Seems like a "stick" who hasn't gotten the ABs in a loaded LAD team.. now he sits in FA

Jansen for Cronenworth and Crismatt?
Padres would now need to add two hitters for 1B/DH … not easy and a reason not to make the deal. Put 2B aside and sub in pitching … Morejon for Jansen?
Not getting TOR #1 catcher in Kirk for a 2B. No one is going to value Rosario as a ML ready prospect … he was terrible in AAA last year away from EP.

Do you mean Rios? Non-tendered by LAD. Power yes but not much of a hitter with a big K%.

You are the most optimistic person on this forum. None of this is realistic, but props for your optimism.
