Can really see that athletic Myers enjoying the game at 1B surrounded by teammates, coaches, opponent base runners as opposed to being bored by himself in RF. I forgot how good he could look defensively at 1B. Vast difference from Hosmer / Voit.
Don’t see him being resigned UNLESS they cannot get it done with Bell and Myers drops his ask to maybe $8MM. Not sure they can find much at 1B for less with Myers’ normal production (which is slightly above average offense). They probably will let him explore FA to see if he can top whatever the Padres offer … while they work on Bell.
I know being frustrated with Myers under his $20MM contract but the same guy at $8MM might not be that bad with “average” production and not the major piece in the line-up. Plus just simply like watching him and his demeanor on the field … enjoys the game and it shows.
Yes, it's good to see him having fun again. Unfortunately the Padres have almost no money to spend next year and don't need a 1B.

So you have Cronenworth at 1b then?

I thought Melvin put together a strange line up together today. Led off Profar that has an under .200 BA against Freeland, and sat Crone who has hit Freeland at over a .300 clip.
Everyone is right, leave Soto in the 2 hole.
And yes, just some bad luck on some well hit balls by SD today.

With Hosmer,Bell,Myers and Voit all gone how can you say we don't need a Firstbaseman?
