At this point, I hope he hits the IL so I can start TJ Friedl over him with no regrets.

An excuse I haven't heard in a few years but maybe the HR Derby has factored in to his dropoff?Comment

It's possible, but the HR derby actually had the opposite effect last year. In 2021, his first half wasn't bad, but not 1st round worthy; then his second half he took off like a screaming banshee and might have been the most valuable offensive player in the second half of 2021.Originally posted by harmon View Post
But your question is still valid - more than one player has tanked after a long run in the HR derby. It might have happened here.I'm just here for the baseball.

Padres dispatch the Dodgers tonite, 5-3 to advance to the NLCS! Hader struck out all 3 batters he faced in the 9th and showed no signs of his struggles earlier this year. This was, by W-L record, the 2nd biggest upset in playoff history. Padres finished 22 games behind the Dodgers. The only bigger upset was in the 1906 WS when the WhiteSox beat the Cubs having had a 23-win difference in wins and losses. All 3 NL 100-win teams now are out of the playoffs.Comment

Robert Suarez re-signed to a 4-yr dealComment

The Padres signed Xander to an 11 year deal, signaling their commitment to winning it all. Who'd have thunk, that the Padres would become the Empire in that their owner Peter Seidler, will spend what it takes to win the series.
After offering Turner AND Judge almot 400 million, get ready for the new world order

Sorry Doig, this deal reeks of desperation. Preller HAD to get someone, so he vastly overpaid in both years and money for a very goo, but not great player. And now Boegarts become the starting SS, probably the best SS in fielding ability on the team, but he's going to hold that position for years to come.Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View Post
Manny will probably opt out next season, but I doubt Xander will shift over to 3rd.

Yeah, 11 years for a 30 year old SS is way more than he should have been given, although it isn't crazy in this market, given Turner, just a year younger, also got 11 years. He is gonna be an albatross for the second half of the deal (so will Turner), but will be great for them the first 4-5 years, I think. I'd rather have Turner for $20 mil more over the next 11 years, but neither deal is a team friendly one in terms of years.Comment
