Quote from Henry Silvestre on January 4, 2019, 6:03 pmQuote from David Nevin on January 3, 2019, 2:47 pmHaving Relmuto for only two years doesn’t make much sense no matter what way you look at it.
It especially doesn’t make sense depending on the cost in prospects.
It certainly doesn’t make sense if the Padres truly don’t feel they will be a playoff caliber team until 2021.
If we feel having Stammen and Yates is a luxury and that we should trade them for pieces that will help us a few years down the line the same would immediately be true the day we acquire JT.
Plus we will be out prospects.
I’ll stick by my statement that the only reason to trade for Realmuto is if he is then traded for pitching help or a 3B we will have for more than 2 seasons.
JT makes a lot of sense to me...IF we are abke to buy off his last 2 arb yrs and extend him+2yrs...so 19.20.21 and 22...i dont know whatnthw math would be but he isbprojected to make $6.1 mil in arb #2 for 19... So would 4/60 be a reasonable sum to buy out 2 arb yrs + 2 FA yrs?....this is the ONLY way JT makes sense to me..ttade and extend type compromise..
That IF is a very big (and unlikely) IF. Realmuto is on track to be a FA at age 30 (has to be the sweet spot for a catcher to get a max contract). The $20MM/yr seems about right but he would expect (as the best catcher) a 4-6 year deal (ages 30 -35). Doubt he would want to defer his FA 2 years for only $20MM.

Looking for sleepers in our deep farm?

Mike (Peoria, AZ):
- Do you see Frank Lopez jumping up the prospect ranking like Luis Patino did?
Kyle Glaser: There are certainly some things to like with Lopez and the potential plus fastball and above-average slider can get you excited, but the buzz on him even within the org isn't at the same level Patino's was at the same point in their development. Still, keep an eye on Lopez, he definitely is someone who shows some of the raw ingredients to jump

A fun Q&A from the Kyle Glaser chat at BA ...
Carlos (Frankfurt, KY): How many of the Padres' 11-20 list would make it into the weakest system's top 10? (Presumably the Cubs?)
Kyle Glaser: Oooh fun question. Looking at how we have everything lined up, I would say he Padres 11-23 would make up 13 of the weakest system's top 18 prospects. Nos 11 and 12 would probably be Nos. 2 and 3 in that system, if not No. 1 and 3.

Lynch, thanks for being such a busy beaver yesterday!

Padres signed LHP Eric Stout to a minor league contract.
Stout, 25, was roughed up during a brief stint with the Royals last season. He'll give the Padres some left-handed relief depth.

BA has just come out with their version of the Padres Top 10 prospects:
1. Tatis
2. Gore
3. Urias
4. Mejia
5. Morejon
6. Paddack
7. Patino
8. L.Allen
9. Naylor
10. Quantrill
Seems as though BA has a lot more love for Morejon, Quantrill, and Naylor than this website.
MLBPipeline will have their Top 100 out on Jan 26th with the Padres Top 30 sometime in Feb.

As I noted above in the thread, Stout was one of three pitchers who agreed to deals just after the first of the year. Interestingly, Ryan Colegate wound up not actually signing and the club instead has signed fellow independent league alum Robert Calvano instead. He, like Colegate would have been, is likely in the mix for the Fort Wayne or Elsinore bullpen. Stout doesn't appear to have a big league invite, so he'll be looking for a role in El Paso. Righty Grant Sides spent last year in the Atlantic League and would probably slot most appropriately to Amarillo. But any of the three is going to go where there's need if they make it out of spring training.

Thanks for keeping us geekfans informed on all things "Minor"...
Besides guys going off 40-man via minor trades, etc and AAA FA signing elsewhere, any other lower level minors releases/retirements yet this offseason besides Rod Boykin?
