The writer said the Padres will have the money … thinking he is not clued into the Padres situation.
Writer also wrote that Freid is homegrown by the Braves, when he actually came from us.

NEW YORK -- In a maneuver that was widely expected, Yankees right-hander Gerrit Cole opted out of his contract on Saturday. The club can void the opt out by adding one year and $36 million to his existing deal, a decision that must be triggered by Sunday evening.
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand confirmed Cole’s decision. The team has not confirmed. The 34-year-old Cole has four years and $144 million remaining on a deal signed with the Bombers in December 2019.
Should the Yankees void the opt-out, Cole would remain signed in the Bronx through the 2029 season. If they do not, he would become a free agent.

Rizzo officially became a free agent on Saturday as the Yankees declined the first baseman’s $17 million option for the 2025 season, instead paying the 35-year-old a buyout valued at $6 million.

AJP should pass on him.

The one name I keep coming back to looking at the starting pitching market is Trevor Williams. It looked like he was having a breakout season last year before he got hurt. He ditched his curveball and started throwing his sweeper a lot more and it was working for him. I think he'll be affordable and the upside could be huge. He's also a local kid so coming home may appeal to him.

My guess is we bring Martin Perez back on a two year deal.His relationship with Preller and his success while here makes me think they're both interested.He makes a fine #5 SP IMO....and we need a lefty

He has pitched very well at Petco Park.

Four Padres are finalists for the Silver Slugger Award: Arraez, Machado, Profar and Merrill

I'm guessing Arraez and Profar win.
Sure hope Merrill does also but......

How do Profar's numbers compare to Teoscar Hernandez?
And is it by position in the OF or just the 3 best bats, regardless of position?
Merrill would be the top offensive CF in the NL, no?

Top 3 regardless of position I believe.
