Well, I'd hope there's a 3rd team because San Diego's prospect depth isn't what it used to be. If we settle for a Weathers or Marcano as the best prospect we get back in a Hader deal...

kgarrett12486 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Just saw you guys signed JBJ for 2 yrs/24 million. He does have the opt out after 1 year though. Good value for you, but curious how you guys feel about the signing? Seems like one of those head scratchers being essentially a 1 year deal. Maybe a flip candidate if you fall out of contention? I just don't see him being that much of a difference maker with the bat, even coming off the strong showing in limited action last year.

We're trying to dump Lo Cain's salary on someone, probably with Hader. So this is just step 1 in a money-saving series of moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense though now why it's 1 year deal essentially. Edited March 4, 2021 by kgarrett12486 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to be anything close to great but that'll happen when you're using your best asset to dump salary...

umphrey Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don’t think Cain or Hader gets traded this year, although I could see us flipping Hader this summer if the team bombs (10 games back for the WC). We just love overloading on position players and playing guys out of position. That and we’re obsessed with defense his year apparently.

It's the type of deal a team makes when they aren't trying to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no upside moving to 1B and no DH either. I'd be shocked if all 3 are on the roster opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) So our 2022 rotation could be promising IMO. I fully expect Ashby and Small to be with the big club next year replacing Houser/Lindblom and Anderson. Could be flat out special in the years after too if literally any one of Dylan File/Max Lazar/Antoine Kelly/Justin Jarvis/Alec Bettinger hit as the 5th starter. We still have Woody and Burnes through 2024. Houser is under control through the same time frame so he could possibly lock down the 5th spot as well. 2022 (or as early as mid-2021) Woodruff Burnes Ashby/Small Lindblom/Houser Small/Ashby 2023 Woodruff Burnes Ashby/Small Small/Ashby Houser/File/Bettinger 2024 Woodruff Burnes Ashby/Small Small/Ashby Houser/Kelly/File/Lazar/Bettinger/Jarvis That's also without including a college pitcher that could fast track too. Our pitching should be very friggin' nice for years to come and we handle the bullpen better than any franchise out there.
