    Trade Deadline thread

    So who's gonna go? Lots of rumors but so far nobody.

    Upton?
    Kimbrel?
    Ross?
    Cashner?
    Shields?

    I'd really hate to lose Upton and Shields. I especially understand dangling Upton because of his FA status but man, he's their best player.

        Less than 2 hours left and no moves. Not sure if this is good or bad.

          This season is a wash anyway, I'm more inclined to keep the core (Upton (if they can sign him), Shields, Ross, Kimbrel). I'd be ok with packaging Cashner but realistically that alone won't get anything done.

          They are hurting up the middle though, not sure how they solve that without trading one of the above.

            So Ken Rosenthol tweeted that AJ didn't make any trades because he believes the team can make the post season this year. WTF???

                Good line to feed the media, but I suspect he would've gotten raped for Upton or Kimbrel and didn't want to give up Ross.

                  I haven't given up on the Padres making the post season. The odds aren't in our favor, but it's not over 'til the Fat Tire keg is tapped.

                  The owners showed they were willing to shell out the big bucks this year. Maybe we can pay to keep all our players around another season. I know we've never really had a major sports owner like that before, but we can all hope.

                    The problem is next couple of years we won't have any money to do much because they went for it this year (at the expense of the farm system) and have too many players with big contracts (for us anyway).

                      You're always a realist. Can't you just pretend with me for a moment. We're going to win this thing, Goddammit.

                        I like your optimism, but as a jaded Padre/Charger/Aztec fan it's easy to get cynical!
