As per Bleacher Report.
This guy is a top 5 starter, when healthy. Maybe a change of venue for ‘Thor’ might be just the thing to keep him healthy enough to pitch 180 innings in a season. He’s 26 years old. Maybe the Padres should move some talent to acquire him.

Is a number 1 pitcher. Under team control until 2022. He would be a huge pickup for the Padres. He won't come cheap. Mets will be looking for prospects. At least two top 50 types. We have seven top 51 players.

Mets would ask for the moon. No thanks.

I love Syndergaard's profile, but I really believe in the talent/ceiling of the "core four" in Tatis, Gore, Urias and Morejon. I think both those guys could anchor the staff in the next run of contention. And it's really hard to not be excited about a kid like Luis Patino, at 18 and dominating in Fort Wayne as one of the youngest players in the league.

What are the magic words, "Trust the Process", or something like that? Not interested in those pitchers.

It's just six or twelve months too early, in my opinion. Trading away highly rated pieces to acquire an ace is a good plan, but the Padres are more than one really good pitcher away. This needs to be in the cards NEXT year, either during the deadline or the 2019 offseason. They need to see what they have in some minor league assets. Trading away a high floor bat doesn't make a lot of sense when the team desperately needs offensive consistency and beyond the top two bats, the system is lacking in that area.

Absolutely no sooner than after the 2019 season, IMO.

Much depends on how the first half of next year goes. The Phillies added Carlos Santana and Jake Arrieta and have gone from 66 wins to a playoff contender, but there are so many moving parts. One of those possible trade chips, Michel Baez, just struck out former Aztec Chase Calabuig. Minor league baseball six degrees of separation!

Mid November and the Padres are again thinking about adding Thor to the rotation. Honestly it’s a bit of a gamble, when healthy he is the best power pitcher in the NL. The problem is he has arm issues nearly every year.
Pull the trigger Preller. Maybe the San Diego climate will keep him healthier.

As others have said, the Mets will throw some bait to see what they can get for Syndergaard. If it's really true what the experts are saying about the Padres farm and the young pitchers currently in it, then no bites. If the Mets are just looking not to get shutout, then a nibble might be worth it.

The "climate" has nothing to do with a torn lat muscle, bone spurs in the throwing elbow or a strained finger that cost him two months of a season. He's just not consistently on a mound. Mets fans are out of their minds asking for Tatis, Gore or both.

I wasn’t serious about the ‘climate’ at its beneficial effects, if anything it would seem the opposite given the frequency of Padre Pitching DL stints.

The Mets would love to have our DL issues - Their whole rotation has spent time on the DL in the past few seasons. I don't expect anything to come to fruition. Mets want to compete, new GM, weird, obsessive and paranoid ownership....Hard sell for the fanbase if they move Noah.

The Pads weren’t without injuries last year, (Lamet, Perdomo, Richard, Strahm, ect.) but the last 3 years the Mets take the DL prize. Syndergaard is going to be expensive, maybe it’s time for the Padres to move some talent add a legit frontline starter and make a move for a playoff spot. Right now the Dodgers have Kershaw, The Giants have Baumgardner, D-Backs have Greinke, the Pads need better SP, a great bullpen is useless when you are down 7-2 going into the 6th inning.

Greinke is being aggressively shopped, Kershaw is a shell of what he used to be and the Giants are screwed with or without MadBum. What the insane Mets are throwing out there right now is straight lunacy - I'm not trading Tatis for Thor straight up, some of their fans want Gore and Mejia on top of Tatis. Hell. No.
