Musgrove to Padres

one of the reasons I’m grateful for Sox shift to working budgets to get top prep guys - head was given 3 mill in third round in 2019.

As we saw in Padres other trades, getting young, athletic, toolset guys in system hold value for a long time and can be converted well in trades.

You mean over-slot college hitters in the second aren’t the way to go?

Waiting for the “who cares about the Padres” posts when they or the Dodgers are the teams the Sox would have to face in the World Series...

And one could say it’s better he’s not on Twins or Jays, as this makes the path easier for the Sox

Respect to preller. Part of this you can see is after last year they weren’t going to have an important year of their window just handing spots to young pitchers. Braves have had same struggle but then they all put it together in September/oct.

Im of them mind that it’s ok to let those dudes force their way in to a spot when they’ve shown they can command and get AAA hitters out and aren’t just throwing their top stuff all over the place and relying on inferior hitters to get themselves out.

Also doesn’t help that all the outfield prospects didn’t pan out from the Rutherford, Gonzalez, Adolfo group

And the fact we traded none of them other than Walker and even then we have nothing to show for it.  Still can’t believe we couldn’t extract an older lottery ticket type prospect for Basabe, although I guess we can add that to the long list of ways the Padres have fucked us...lol.
