Maybe, but if I'm right we're going to lose a lot of games waiting for him to turn into a ML hitter.
-
The Padres had just traded for Yonder Alonzo to play 1B which means Rizzo was blocked. Also, the Pardes wanted Andrew Cashner.
-
His OPS+ is now 56 after he has had a "hot streak". I just don't think he's going to become a decent, ML hitter and the more that he continues below the Mendoza line the more his trade value disappears.
-
They could certainly add a bat in CF. Bellinger can play RF and Suzuki DH. If we're serious about offense, they ought to play Tauchman.
-
Okay, then trade other prospects for Chisolm and send PCA down until he learns to hit.
-
I don't think he's overrated, but offering PCA for Chisholm would have been a good deal too.
-
PCA still has a lot of trade value. Trade PCA + for Robert and you solve all of the offensive woes.
-
Paredes at worst gives us a solid bat and 3B for multiple years at a cheap price. At best, he's an All-Star slugger and 3B.
-
That's like a weatherman saying, "It's going to rain or not".
-
Jed's career peaked when he was getting coffee for Theo in 2016.
-
Somebody with a .740 OPS and a 108 OPS+ would look great in this lineup of Mendoza line hitters.
-
The same complaints about Bellinger and yet we see what happens to the Cubs lineup when he's not in it.
-
Jeb will keep his job with mediocre, under budget team because that's all Ricketts needs.
-
Why does it make you laugh? 2 bats and a closer for a team that doesn't want to spend money or trade prospects is a really tough hill to climb.
-
Trading a bunch of prospects for Paredes solves a lot of offensive problems for years to come.
-
Ding, Ding, we have a winner. Ricketts is horrible, Hoyer is just as bad, and Hawkins doesn't seem much better.
-
They should have sent PCA down to the minors weeks ago (or trade him) and then Tauchman and/or Canario could play CF until Bellinger comes back.
-
You're right, it will NEVER happen.
-
Tearing what down? A mediocre team that doesn't want to spend more money or trade prospects to be competitive.
-
If only the schedule makers would let us play only really bad teams all season, we might be mediocre.
-
There's no way the Cubs will be in on Soto. Did everyone forget the Ohtani saga?
-
If only Ricketts would sell, we might have a chance next year.
-
My problem with that is you would probably have to a "real" prospect like Shaw instead of Morel to get Paredes.
-
And waiting to trade him means other teams will be snapping up players like Paredes.
-
Another 1-1 1/2 years will really make him worthless as trade bait. At least now other teams might see some potential on what he did last year.
