you know regarding Cam...

it is a little concerning that he hit the rookie wall mid-season...and never bounced back. He was done.

sometimes rookies get a second wind in late August or September, but Cam was cooked after the first half

He also had his PT cut back significantly. The addition of Sanchez hitting left against RHP really cut Cam's ABs back the last two months of the season.

Cam also had A LOT MORE on his plate that I imagine the team wanted.

I'm not worried about Cam.

and seeing Kurtz's name again...

I trust Espada is working on a plan for Kurtz next year

just embarrassing that the rookie hit 9 HR and posted 18 RBI against the Astros

when his final season numbers were 36 HR and 86 RBI

25% of his homers and 21% of his RBI came in 10 games vs. Joe's bunch

He had 4 HR and 8 RBIs in one game. Thats going to inflate the numbers quite a bit.

What position is Tatis playing nowadays?

IIRC he was pretty awful as a defender and wasn't really a fit at LF or SS.

Steroid user, bloated contract, immature. If we're going to expend that kind of trade capital I'd rather use it on someone else.

Who gave him a 2nd place vote?

Espada wasn't close to the top 3 managers in the AL this year.

Probably Jesus if Joe ever answered a question in Spanish.

He was until he wasn't. I'd argue he should have been the favorite around the ASB.

absolutely

THIS

He's entering his age-27 season. He's under contract for 9 more years at ~32 M per. For a team desperate for major talent after the loss of some big names and the aging out of others, he's perfect. He plays a high-level RF (better than Cam) and would look great leading off right in front of Yordan.

He would rank 2nd to only Dubon in Fielding Run Value for the 2025 Astros.

Is that enough to get Tatis? What if you had to throw in Yainer as well?

I'd say you are correct.

Here is how Baseball Trade Values each
  • Smith 22.5
  • Arrighetti 12.4
  • Walker -25.2
  • Diaz 28.6
Total: 38.3

  • Tatis 83.3
In actuality, there is no reason for the Padres to take Walker if the move is to shed money. If you take Walker out & add Yainer to the deal, it gets a lot closer to fair.


This is all hypothetical. He'll probably end up with the Dodgers.
