Stop 🛑 being negative and a doomer. Sound familiar? I was bullied on Annie and Elsten for telling the truth that the Padres would cut 40 million from payroll in 2025. Telling the truth and accepting reality is healthy and should be a virtue. Fans don’t always have to behave as if they are in a mindless cult.
In order to compete next year Preller has to one up himself from his masterclass last year. Not sure if we can find another King, Profar, Solano, Peralta, Higgy, Scott, Merill, and Adam. All of these guys played significant rolls in getting as far as we did and that was still not enough. Even if we do they will have to be that much better to slay the LA dragon.
Seriously. 2 years for $6M/year was the perfect bridge to Salas. This reeks of Kutspenda handcuffing AJ for a 2nd season in a row after Peter passed. This is outrageous after the fan support they got. Until I see all the moves, I'll remain optimistic that AJ still has the green light to buy some pieces that move the needle.
@rayfinkle9369 The fact they let him sign anywhere is stupid, but to let him go and sign a 2 year/ $6 million is like salt in the wound. That's a Horrible move by San Diego. Not a good look to the off season.
@@JohnA.FJr9689Yeah, I just don't get this one since we'll have to find a replacement, to which there are sub-standard ones available. Perhaps after the whole picture unfolds I'll eat my words, but not an ideal start to the offseason.

Ben when do we have your permission and the organization to be disappointed with the lack of spending and moves? We have kept the faith. When do we start to ask THEM to show faith in US?
Finally someone is speaking Facts!! Imagine a team with Tatis, Cronenworth, Manny, Xander, Campy, Salas, DeVries, and Merrill...Whoooo!! Now we're talking! Keep the faith! 💛🤎
That's some confidence considering Salas had more strikeouts than hits in A ball last year with a Mendoza line batting average. He did better in the Fall league, .228. This dude is looking like Anderson Espinoza
Go sign Elias Diaz or grab Matt Thaiss. Then focus on Sasaki, then make a smart trade or two and a couple cheap flyer signings(Like Solano and Peralta from last year) and we're still in a very good spot. If they could make one major free agent signing as well, that would be great, but probably wont happen unless we somehow clear some salary in a trade or two.
People forgetting that we we're planning on shedding some payroll this year. I'd much rather have the money for King then wastefully spend it on Higashioka. Yasmani Grandal or Gary Sanchez seem ike a fine stop-gap player for a year that can play until Salas is ready. There's no reason to spend money on Higashioka now when Salas is almost ready.
From what the fans tell me, he's a taller version of Ivan Rodriguez, and pudge was producing for the Rangers at 19 1/2. Sure, Pudge was batting 275 in AA with twice as many hits as strikeouts as an 18 year old, but I hear production in the minors isn't important in the modern game. You just need to be on a media top prospect list
Remember when Padre fans were losing their mind after signing Xander. How is that working out for you guys? Only 9 years left. Now Padres can't afford to sign a mediocre catcher. As Dodger fan I just want to say thank you to Xander, he's the real MVP.
@@live4themoment94 Are the so called superstars getting younger? How wolf will they be in 2027? Only one person in farm system tearing it up? They in triple A?
@jdsthird the video is about needing a catcher and that's the only player I'm focused on. Tatis, Merrill, Salas, and Devries will be a great combo. Padres will be fine, you can be a worry wort all you want but keep that same energy when they surprise you and everyone else like they always do 🥱
@jdsthird lol dude you're mentioning 1 year they played L.A. they also beat them in 2022. It's not about taking the division anymore all the Padres need to do is make it to October and beat the Dodgers in a series and being up 2-1 should make you feel very confident. Yeah they went 24 scoreless and the Mets also struggled against that BP. L.A. went 34 scoreless which obviously is unsustainable and with how often they'll be playing each other. Yeah that's never happening again but hey if you want to focus on that you go for it buddy lol
Starting catching must be a top priority for the Padres because there is no way in hell they can rely on what they have. So with that in mind I think it's fairly obvious the Padres cannot compete with anyone financially. ANYONE I would say once again Padre fans should just sit back and take a nap because the Padres most likely are going to have another offseason of waiting until the last minute to scrape up the leftovers. They're not going to sign players according to need they're going to sign players according to cost and that doesn't bode well for the 2025 season. So don't anybody wonder why the Padres aren't making any moves right up until or maybe into spring training. You have to be able to admit we've been down this road a few times before, so to act surprised with no moves being made is a little dishonest OR just naive and how can you be naive to this team after all these years? The Padres cannot compete with anyone financially. THEY HAVE NO TELEVISION CONTRACT. Until they do this will be how this team must operate. Mostly do to the contract stay currently have. I have seen enough of the Padre backup catcher. He was given an opportunity to win the starting job any failed partly because of his hitting but mostly because he is lazy behind the plate. If you're fighting for a major league position and one of your biggest attractions is you are lazy what does that say about the player? Defensively, he is below average.
