whoever picks him up will owe 4.1 this year
Then 21m next
Then 21m next
Then 21m Next

I've seen reports (of course from people not associated with the Padres) that they are willing to eat 8-15m in order to get decent prospects back.

If a team eats 10m of the 63 owed then that comes out to 17.6m a team would be paying.... or if you include the 4.1 then 14.25m for this year + the next 3.

Ugh. That couldve been interesting with bryant on that throw. Think je had a mental lapse. That was bad.

Yea. Glad we are talking to them about ross.

Out if curiosity. Are middling and decent prospects the same thing?

Middling- guys who probably only fill organizational depth
Decent- guys who have a chance to one day see MLB action in some capacity

Ok. Well if the pads want to kick is 10 million and take a career minor leaguer(s) obviously anyone jumps at that.

You think they'll do that?

I think the Padres are desperate to unload Shields and Kemp... Kemp is obviously harder to move unless he goes to a team he can DH, and they have to eat more of his salary.

Shields still has some value associated with him as he hasn't fallen off the track and is still good to go out and pitch. He leads MLB in games started so far this year and is on pace for another 200 inning sub 4.00 ERA, (I think he gets under 3.50 ERA before the end of the year) and 200 strikeout season.

Good Lord, I can't take Ron Coomer calling the action. He's just terrible.

How many goddamn hard hit balls are the Cubs going to get out on?

Caught stealing and a double play. What a shitty trip through the top of the order. Guess they can't all be home runs.

Yeah he and Pat don't seem to mesh well. I wish we could just have Pat Hughes calls the games, no color guy

I don't mind Coghlan trying to steal in front of Russell there. Russell's been making solid contact and has two hits already. The Fowler caught stealing in front of the meat of the lineup makes me angry.

Three SAC bunts for Lester today and from the sounds of it they have been perfect.

ETA: Wouldn't you want Castro to pinch hit here?
