The new GM there has done anothing incredible job


that is debatable. it seems they are at least trying. i'm not that impressed. yes, they have a better outfield now. will they stay in the hunt by mid-season? imo, not likely at all. the dodgers were mighty happy to dump kemp.

Fangraphs has floated a Wil Myers-Jurickson Profar swap. Now there isn’t any known talk of this deal and they don’t think it will actually happen, but it would be a pretty fascinating trade. Padres have plenty OF depth, could use a SS. Rangers have middle infield depth, could use an OF. Both are former top 5 prospects coming off injury-ridden years. San Diego GM was heavily involved in landing Profar when he worked for the Rangers. Who turns this deal down?

Kemp is going to cost them $15M/yr. That is a steal.
Wil Myers is cheap and under control for 5 years.
Got all star catcher Derek Norris.
Get Upton for a year, if it doesn't work out he will be a great deadline asset.

They are about to flip Hanigan for WIl Middlebrooks.

Got some lottery ticket pitchers for cheap with Brandon Morrow and Josh Johnson.


How is that not impressive? Given the shite they had in the majors and average farm system
