Quote from Henry Silvestre on December 18, 2022, 12:06 pmAppears Lugo is between Pads and Dodgers
I don’t get it. Padres don’t really need RP Lugo as a priority so why spend on him.
If it is down to SD and LAD, he has to be overpriced in the minds of other teams … most who NEED RP.
He has not been a SP for 4-5 years and has been a 60 inning type guy … hard to see him fill a starting slot.
However, if the Padres land him, who gets bumped out of the pen?

Both LAD and SDP are looking at Lugo as a SP..
#5 SP just need 5 IP per start.. could be a piggy back situation with Morejon as both build up since neither has SP .. with 6 SP (Groome/Avila/Teheran/etc) .. not a bad plan every 6th day with a handful of skips when off days allow BoMel to skip a start here and there
I mean look at SP Heaney (LAD 2022) type role..

Don’t see the Padres dropping $12MM (or even near that) on any of the remaining hitters. Less so now if they are setting a priority in signing Lugo.
If they had $12MM more likely two adds $8MM and $4MM with some ability to play an OF slot and one a LHH.

Well apperantely we were in on Bassitt at $20+ per.. so I am not sure that we don't have $$ left...

Have not seen anything that Lugo (who will be 33) can go 5 innings … last four years he has been a one inning (sometimes two) pitcher.
It would be a real gamble IF the price tag is high if the intent is a SP (or even a multi inning RP).
However, if they see him as a further upgrade of the pen … making another RP trade bait that can be leveraged into a hitter … maybe.

Juan Soto aclara de que aún no tiene el permiso para jugar con los Tigres del Licey. Dice que si le dan el permiso, debe de asegurarse de que esté bien físicamente.
Hasta ahora no hay fecha Liceista. @williamaish @carmonaperez @baudiliojimenez @ivancruzrd @hgomez27 pic.twitter.com/uYhCxdc5Xn

But did not sign him. Think Preller / Siedler have the money for the top players but not spending those dollars on players they don’t rank as high or have more or less sufficient alternatives.
With this offense … and considering a full 162 games season … could be better off to use $12MM on multiple hitters to deploy as the #9 and cover the inevitable injuries. As it is the drop off from the first 8 is into the abyss. Need an OF / 1B and at least one LHH.

If the Padres do sign Lugo … and Morejon is #5 and Teheran takes #6 … Lugo is in the pen … most likely Crismatt is out / Lopez is out / and all the next tier in AAA. That is lot of talent in an in demand RP position … sets up trade options.
For the “right return” does that put Garcia and/or Wilson in as trade pieces. Garcia was good in 2022 at a low cost but only has one year control and “older”. So maybe a two year sign of Lugo makes Garcia expendable and creates less an issue next winter with all the FA?
