@RHJ405 Note, this # doesn't include Cobb Hightower, who everyone is saying was a draft sleeper.

@RHJ405 RF/C and bench are the only holes. Pitching depth will be filled by system. Farm depth ebbs and flows in a 2 year cycle. The tide is coming, as it always does. Folks said we sold the farm for Soto and the farm came back for trades last year. Cease stays unless the deal is right.

@RHJ405 Entering 2024, LF, CF, C, DH were all Qs. We have fewer holes in 25. We’ll see how they ball. Farm depth will get developed/traded, per usual cycle. Cease doesn’t have to go for scraps. Padres under Preller haven’t ever conceded that. They’ll hold til the right deal or he stays

@RHJ405 It’s a tale as old as time. Dating back to Justin Upton, Blake Snell and others. If the deal ain’t there, we’ll walk.

@Arraez_21 Damn. Bro is getting beefy. Other bro looking like a 4x hitting champ

@Junts @973TheFanSD @Ken_Rosenthal Ya, I’ve heard that. But I’m pretty surprised that a leader of men will sink to that low. Say what you will about our guys and the contention there, but they don’t do that.

Sheesh. Get big brand out of baseball, huh? #Padres

@dmx_biographer @welosinrecipes @973TheFanSD @MLB Not really. LA has already committed to the most expensive roster from 2030-40. Other orgs can’t spend because of revenue issues, which we’ve learned can be connected to TV deals. The $$ spent by LA is to reference the unbalanced, which is my point. That’s it for me. Take care

@dmx_biographer @welosinrecipes @973TheFanSD @MLB Concentrated within the largest markets (see $1b+ expenditures from one team, 1/12th of all the revenue generated) and distributed to the smaller orgs that aren’t spending anything. Sport is built atop a foundation that is decaying

@973TheFanSD A month ago? Bro said last year it’d be best for him to know where he’d be playing going into the off season. It’s good we’re giving him more time to prep, but there’s still maybe 2 months between end of season and this apparent discussion.

@973TheFanSD @Ken_Rosenthal Jk. @Ken_Rosenthal does a great job with charity. Just wish he did a better job at his day job

@MartyCaswell Pen on paper bro. You can make it happen. This org has generally been good to players. But you got to be willing to give a little.

@welosinrecipes @973TheFanSD @MLB Keep those positive vibes only coming my friend

Shildt is the right guy for this version of the #Padres. For the foreseeable future, you want this squad to play like his St Louis Cardinals with rotating role player, occasional pop in stars and a consistent core.

@Padres Great. What else?
