Or another SD malcontent.....What about taking The Faux-Hawk back? Maybe he’s happier here? Maybe they could eat 50 of the 100 left and we are at a 6/50 type of deal. Idk just tossing out ideas, don’t hate me
Hosmer has a full no trade clause for this season. But Hosmer and prospects for Whit and Kennedy would be something I would talk about it. Hosmer would sell some tickets. [Reply]

More people going to be buying Padres tickets now that he would be gone?
Why would you ever want Hosmer back while giving up someone like Merrifield in the deal no matter what prospects are coming back?
Hosmer is a career 9.9 WAR player in 9 seasons with 10.6 of that WAR coming in 3 seasons... you do the math on the remaining 6 years. He's fucking trash. [Reply]

DM
The more this plays out the more I think DM is a bumbling stooge that lucked into a championship because he had years of high picks from unintentionally tanking. [Reply]

The lack of urgency to up grade the major league team that lost 100 + games two years in a row is malpractice. This idea that it's acceptable to bottom out the way they have is dumb... look at the Rays... the sustained consistency of success and player development... that should be us. [Reply]

It's simple. DM knows his job is 100% secure, so why make any risky moves when he can take the slow and steady approach and still keep his job almost no matter what? We could lose 100+ for another 2 years and Moore would still not feel the heat. Apparently a single world series wins him a lifetime of goodwill. Meanwhile teams like Boston and Chicago (Cubs) have fired managers or executives soon after championships for not continuing with the same excellence. [Reply]
And bottoming out intentionally would be fined if we coupled it with trading anyone with value and stockpiling talent like Houston did. But Dayton Moore still refuses to fully commit to the rebuild and ignorantly wants to hold on to the "core" of a 100 loss team. [Reply]
