[intentional wok]

Padres paying $17m. LOL

 

 

holy s***

[Jonn]

This was a pretty f***ing good trade. Holy s***

[G-Snarls]

Damn

 

That's a nice price for a season and half of him

[HERPDERP]

ahahaha

 

I'm pretty sure the Orioles FO is confused. They must really like Hansel.

[RealAccountant]

How is this a better deal for the Padres than Jiminez

[vilifyingforce]

I'm very curious to see how Gibby uses everyone on defense and what he does with the lineup

 

Also who goes down, Lake?

 

Lake was gone when Bautista came back. Hopefully Tepera and go back to a 7 man pen.

[RealAccountant]

We can probably flip him in the offseason for even more

[LGBJ29]

Lets not get carried away

 

I stand corrected

[BTS]

Wow, great move. Excellent 4th OF for 5M over 1.5 seasons, all at the cost of an r-ball shitbag.

[RealAccountant]

Why does Zeke need to be with the big club now ;s

[vilifyingforce]

How is this a better deal for the Padres than Jiminez

 

They don't have to have Jiminez on their roster now or pay for him I suppose.

[LGBJ29]

This is a crazy good deal

[Terminator]

Wow. This seems like a really good trade if they are throwing in 17 million.

[Bojangles]

Why does Zeke need to be with the big club now ;s

 

Because he's out of options? That would probably be the reasoning

[LGBJ29]

Wow, great move. Excellent 4th OF for 5M over 1.5 seasons, all at the cost of an r-ball shitbag.

 

and keeping him from the O's leaving them stuck with Jimenez

[Angrioter]

The Padres probably traded him to the team that was willing to take on the most salary. I doubt this has much to do with the prospect at all.

 

Hansel isnt a prospect, he's just a name. Its all about money

[Dr. Dinger]

Sorry... we're only paying $5M for this year and next? How is that even possible?

[The Cats Ass]

the fact that the commission office had to approve the deal shows its a big sum. I can't remember what the minimum amount is, but isn't is somewhere between 5-10 mil at least?

 

Commissioner office has to approve all transactions..

[Jonn]

I'm actually pretty amazed. I was thinking like half and a higher level prospect. Beautiful trade. Just so much damn value.

[BTS]

Interested in seeing the opinion of everyone criticizing management for this yesterday before details were released.

[vilifyingforce]

Because he's out of options? That would probably be the reasoning

 

And he's better then Goins.

[Angrioter]

Uptop + 5M - Hansel is a great deal for ShAskins

[fatcowxlive]

San Diego only paying 5 of the remaining 22$M per Heyman

[BTS]

So the bench is now Thole, Upton, Barney, Carrera I'm assuming.

There's an idea that vs. Lefties Smoak is benched and Upton's in the OF

[BTS]

San Diego only paying 5 of the remaining 22$M per Heyman

 

Wat

[HERPDERP]

San Diego only paying 5 of the remaining 22$M per Heyman

 

he said the opposite. Friars are paying all the contract, except $5mil

[Dr. Dinger]

San Diego only paying 5 of the remaining 22$M per Heyman

 

That would make a lot more sense.

[gbill2004]

So is Shartkins now > AA?
