*2014-15 Hot Stove Thread: The Padres won it I guess (1 Viewer)

[The Flying Elvis]

Oakland acquires RHPs Jesse Hahn and R.J. Alvarez for C Derek Norris, LHP Seth Streich and an international signing slot.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Norris has a solid bat, but his flaws were laid bare in the WC game. Hahn is a very nice return imo.

This trade screams 'Seth Streich better be good'

 

[Hilts]

Norris has a solid bat, but his flaws were laid bare in the WC game. Hahn is a very nice return imo.

Iirc Norris was still suffering from a bad back that game, which couldn't have helped his defensive performance (which is still pretty awful). This seems like a fantastic haul for Oakland. They're building an army of arms to play with in that rotation.

Wow great trade by Oakland. hahn was very impressive last year

 

[Annyong]

The first trade we like from Beane? Prolly means Hahn will crap his khakis in Oakland

I wonder who are Passan's source's sources?

 

[Annyong]

Fangraphs's Kiley McDaniel says Upton will be going to an AL West club "for a package headlined by young pitching." ESPN's Jerry Crasnick has ruled out the Rangers, but the Braves have had discussions with the Mariners and A's, as well, among AL West teams. Meanwhile, MLB.com's Mark Bowman says the Padres also remain a possibility. It sounds like the deal is likely to be completed at some point on Friday. Upton will be a free agent after the 2015 season.

 

[Annyong]

Gotta be Seattle or possibly the Angels.

 

[tommyGunZ]

Angels don't have the prospects to get Upton. Gotta be Seattle.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Rosenthal says not the Mariners.

 

[Annyong]

A's?

UPTON TO METS CONFIRMED

#Braves' return from #Padres for Upton figures to include at least one of three top prospects: Renfroe, Wisler or Hedges.

 

[rodg12]

Myers in CF? Or Kemp?

Can Seth Smith play 1B?

Pretty exciting off-season for SD. Kind of refreshing.

I thought Kemp needs a hip replacement?

 

[Annyong]

Can I get a rundown on all the Padres moves so far? I can't keep up.

Peavy is stealing 24 million the next 2 years from the Giants.

Olney saying Fried is in the deal, but Renfroe and Wisler aren't. No word yet on Hedges

Olney also saying the Padres are planning on putting Kemp in CF.

That outfield is going to have to hit a lot of homers to make up for all the balls that are going to hit the grass.

So, they now have 4 corner OFers, a catcher that should be a DH, an OFer that should be a DH when healthy, a 1B converted from OF because he was terrible and Yonder Alonso. Of course the only guy on their roster that can play a decent CF can't hit.

With this defense, it might be time to knock the Padres pitchers down a few spots in the rankings.

 

[Captain Hook]

UPTON to SD Padres confirmed

Four prospects to ATL - SP Max Fried, 2B Jace Peterson, 3B Dustin Peterson, and one other player but NOT Hedges, Wisler, or Renfroe

As addressed before they now have three corner OF so CF will be bad defensively

fourth player is OF Mallex Smith (very fast but not ready for ML)

 

[rodg12]

Pretty amazing they got Upton/Myers/Kemp without giving up any of Wisler, Renfroe, Hedges.
