RIPPA Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Quote The Padres continued their busy deadline activities with a trade large in both numbers and long-term scope. The Padres and Mariners combined on a seven-player deal that will see catcher/utilityman Austin Nola and right-handers Austin Adams and Dan Altavilla go to San Diego, while Seattle will receive top outfield prospect Taylor Trammell, infielder Ty France, catcher Luis Torrens, and right-hander Andres Munoz. After already picking up Jason Castro from the Angels in another trade earlier today, the Padres will further bolster themselves behind the plate with Nola, though Nola brings extra versatility to the table. While Nola has primarily worked as a catcher this season, he has a lot of experience at first base and second base, plus a handful of games as a third baseman and corner outfield.

From Trade Rumors Quote Beyond Clevinger’s high-end performance on the mound, his remaining club control only added to his allure among other clubs. He’s earning $4.1MM in 2020 — which prorates to about $1.48MM (with $617K yet to be paid) — and is controlled for an additional two seasons beyond the current campaign. So since he has two more arbitration years left - the question is are the Padres going to be willing to pay him. Assuming he keeps pitching like he has (and doesn't piss off his current teammates) - he is going to command a pretty penny and the Padres already have some very large (and bad) contracts on the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of Villar but picking up Starlin Marte from the D-Backs Villar was expected. Getting Starling though is... interesting... I mean, I kind of get it. As loathe as I am to say it, they're still in the vicinity of the playoff hunt, so why not rent him for a year or so and roll the dice. All it cost was walking injury report Caleb Smith (who frankly, I liked a lot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well the NL is horseshit this year so pretty much everyone is in the playoff hunt.
