This trade is absolutely bonkers and Preller / the Padres ownership group deserve a ton of credit for prioritizing talent / winning over money. Can you imagine how absolutely BONKERS this board would be if we got BOTH Snell and Darvish? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if we got Darvish and Lynn even? I’m sure the Cubs would expected more from us, but the price really wasn’t that crazy. Just sucks as we really don’t have a bunch of younger 45 FV type prospects outside of Thompson & Dalquist and they’re both top 10 guys for us. This is where us failing to spend our full international bonus pool and not having a 2020 minor league season really hurts, as our limited crop of LatAm & HS talent missed out on the opportunity to move from the 40 to 45 FV level.

Even more than the homers, I seem to remember Lillibridge going on an unbelievable stretch of outstanding catches in the outfield in the later innings to save a couple of games.
