2023 Season
#11 · January 23, 2023, 12:35 pm
This is sort of an end of season question, but does anyone know whether the Padres will get draft choices if both Darvish and Hader become free agents at the end of the 2023 season and turn down qualifying offers?
Also, anyone want to venture a guess on what chances the Padres may have to sign Aaron Nola as a free agent? I'm thinking its better than 50%, maybe even close to 65%. Irrespective of whether Austin is still with the team, got to have lots of positive vibes from older brother and he knows Preller will value him with a contract probably averaging at least 27.5M over 5 years.

They would get picks after the 4th round for both of them. The Red Sox, Dodgers and Mets all have multiple compensation picks this year for losing players who they made qualifying offers to.

Great article on Matt Carpenter and his swing change.

From the article...
"“If you watched him, when he first walked in the door and the first round (of batting practice) we took, you wouldn’t have guessed he was a big leaguer who has had the kind of success he has. It was that far gone.”"
This article sure makes you feel good that last year wasn't a fluke

Based on what we have in house what would be your ideal SP rotation in Sept 2023...
For me
1. Yu
2. Snell
3. Joe
4. Nick
5. Honeywell
6. Groome
For 1 we would be healthy..For 2 it would mean Martinez has been effective and for 3 it means we found 2 controllable SP for the next 5-6 yrs ... allowing AJP a lot of Flexibikity and resources ($$) to address the top of the rotation...
What's yours?

I’m hoping for the same but due to upside I hope Honeywell pitches like a #2 or #3 and settles in as our #4 for 2023.

I think that the Padres would be best off if the starting pitchers without options take the spaces of the players with options.
1. Darvish
2. Snell
3. Musgrove
4. Honeywell
5. Martinez
6. Lugo
Obviously our 1-3 is set. I'm sure that the Padres are giving Martinez the first shot at a starting spot. Besides those 4 it would be best if Honeywell worked out. He has the most control and highest upside of the rest of the possibilities. Besides him, we already have Lugo signed to a guaranteed contract. We will be paying him whether he plays for us or not. He seems perfect to be the next Martinez. He has already proven to be an excellent reliever who wouldn't need to add very many innings to be a #6 starter.

So I'm looking at tickets to the Padres series in Atlanta in April.
The ones I want are $135 ea from MLB.........fine.
So I check the exact same tickets for the Reds series a couple days later and they are $75?
You can't tell me other teams around MLB aren't benefiting from the excitement our team brings to town!

Just another jab at other small market teams crying poverty. Seidler is showing these other owners, if you invest the money into the on field product, the success will be there.
Happy to have our owner, and him sticking it to the perception that SD can not afford to have a great product on the field.

I have Soto starting in Left. I think they will start him there, instead of
flipping him over to there when Tatis gets back.
Padres just committed $24M to Wacha and no one thinks he will make the team?
