2022 Trade Deadline Thread

[Stangstag]

Wow

 

So the Padres legendary farm system is basically no more. All spent, save for Campusano and Gore.

 

Gore is included too now. Wow

[Laika]

I say the Padres got off light... They have Tatis and others that can play SS... Abrams is excess.. Hassel just another OF spec and a few pichers.. For Soto and Bell. I would do that deall all day all night...

 

They robbed Washington. The package should have several other 40 or 45 FV prospects...

 

Edit NVM lol

 

Gore and more makes it good haha. Should have waited.

Padres To Acquire Juan Soto, Josh Bell From Nationals

By Anthony Franco | August 2, 2022 at 10:53am CDT

 

10:53am: There’ll also be one more major league player going from San Diego to Washington, tweets Jeff Passan of ESPN.

 

10:50am: Left-hander MacKenzie Gore is also in the deal, reports Jim Bowden of the Athletic (Twitter link).

 

10:47am: The Padres and Nationals are in agreement on a deal that sends Soto and first baseman Josh Bell to San Diego, Morosi reports. San Diego will send back rookie shortstop C.J. Abrams, top outfield prospect Robert Hassell III, right-hander Jarlin Susana and top outfield prospect James Wood, according to Morosi.

 

10:43am: The Padres are “on the verge” of acquiring Juan Soto from the Nationals, tweets Jon Morosi of MLB.com. He adds that talks are in their “final stages.” Discussions between the

I would be so pissed if Jays did nothing.

 

We hear after the fact with ownership something like with 300 million in renovations on tap no money to add to the team ********!

[glory]

Soto and Josh Bell? Damn. Most prospects fail, so Padres made out really well here. At least 2.5 years of Soto/Tatis/Machado.

[Solaxys]

Lol HOSMER is the final piece?!?!

 

Wtf are Nats doing

[BlueJaysFever]

That is basically all of San Diego’s highest rated prospects. Wow.

[Solaxys]

[BTS]

How do you not get at least one good, young major leaguer when you trade a 23-year old on a HoF trajectory?

 

Edit: I guess Gore is in the deal too.

[Solaxys]

 

AND HOSMER?!@!@!

 

(Not confirmed by either team yet but wtf)

[Krylian]

We all knew he'd be a Padre

[BlueJaysFever]

Wait, how did they manage to dump Hosmer? Surely the Padres are eating salary there

[Solaxys]

I feel bad for the Mariners; they could've f***ing matched that deal and got two offensive powerhouses instead of Castillo. Actually lol.

[Carlos Danger]

Hosmer is a salary dump and part of the cost of these deals... Exactly what I want the Jays to leverage...

[Ehjays]

[BTS]

I don't know anything about Woods or Susana, but quick Fangraphs and Twitter scouting tells me they might be legit. This is about as good a prospect haul as you could expect.

Both Abrams and Hassell, and arguably Gore are > Marte

No, the Nats eat salary as part of the deal if they want all those specs...

[Terminator]

Delete the Nats by moving them back to Montreal. Garbage trade

[Jimcanuck]

Wood so far is a monster. I have him in BORED

[HERPDERP]

Please Hosmer decline the trade

[Jimcanuck]

Now let's see how the Dodgers respond lol

 

Pablo Lopez to the blue in 1, 2, 3....

[Solaxys]

Both Abrams and Hassell, and arguably Gore are > Marte

 

Prolly but they could've added Kirby, hell even threw in Kelenic.

Mariners need offense; their pitching can hold its own in a playoff series.

[BTS]

I still can't wrap my head around being so inept that you have to trade a future HoFer at 23 years old.

[Stangstag]

Please Hosmer decline the trade

 

Lol imagine

[PhillyBlueJay]

I know Atkins and Shapiro talk about a sustainable winning team each year but making playoffs every year and not going for it at some point just means they are more about job security then rolling the dice.

 

Give credit to Alex A he had balls in Toronto and Atlanta and that is what sets him him apart from them, his assessment of prospects is more accurate then most GM’s. For every 10 prospects in an organization only 2 become impactful players. You get close to championship calibre team you trade up and let go the prospects!!!

[metafour]

I don't know anything about Woods or Susana, but quick Fangraphs and Twitter scouting tells me they might be legit. This is about as good a prospect haul as you could expect.

 

James Wood is an absolute monster. He looks like Aaron Judge so far.

 

He was a ~Top 10 talent in his draft class before having an ugly senior season. The Padres still paid him $2.6 mill to sign. His tools are through the roof, and so far he's absolutely mashing.

[BTS]

Also, Soto and Tatis are on the same team. And Manny Machado is their 3rd-best hitter.

 

I literally can not process this trade.

[Blazeit420]

I still can't wrap my head around being so inept that you have to trade a future HoFer at 23 years old.

 

Meh, at least they have a WS to show for it.
