You would rather have them consistently bad? No, I would rather have them on the gradual upswing, which they seem to be trending towards (and yes, I understand that while that takes place, the team can get streaky, in both good and bad ways). But I fully expect this team to not win many games in September, as the young pitching arms are going to get shut down, and I hope Padres fans realize that. I do like the way the team is progressing, and if they can somehow win 80 games, that would be a 14 game improvement over 2018. That's a good start, as long as the improvement continues next season. Lauer, Lucchesi, and Lamet shouldn't have any limits. Paddack has only thrown 82 innings. He threw 90 last season. He should be OK if used in the 2nd half as he has been in the first. Cal Q threw 148 innings last season. He should have no limit. I think we will be OK. If Matt goes to the bullpen maybe a bullpen day would work for the 6th starter.

All the starters are being limited anyway, as not many Padres starters come back on 4 days rest this season. Lucchesi has done it twice--with 2 very effective, and victorious, starts. Just about all starters are on 5 or 6 day rests between starts. But with the extra day or two of rest between starts, I don't see the Padres shutting down Lauer of Lucchesi early. I do see Lamet being limited, as according to Kevin Acee (consider the source), the Padres will limit Lamet to around 5 innings per start the rest of the season. Paddack, I think, will be limited to 130-150 innings, and based on his normal schedule and work load, that will get him to early or maybe mid-September. Quantrill? Keep him in the pen, as even though it's a small sample size, he is much more effective coming out of the pen than as a starter this season.

Per Bleacher Report:
Padres looking at Syndegaard (again) trade.

Mets probably won't move him, but I think we can turn his development around.

Ryan,
What do you think of Strahm? Someone in my fantasy league added him, but he's been getting hit hard.

Ryan, What do you think of Strahm? Someone in my fantasy league added him, but he's been getting hit hard. He will be in the bullpen the rest of the season. The hope is that he regains velocity in shorter bursts, gets back to locating the offspeed stuff and has more success as a change of pace arm. He just didn't maintain the velocity he showed last year. We'll see. Free advice here...if Jose Castillo is on waivers, add him. He's coming back.

I hate to get rid of Kirby but if we could get rid of Meyers and Kinsler with him, it would be worth it. We'd probably have to eat some of Meyer's $$. Not sure how long we can afford to keep throwing up Hedges. I know he's an incredibly good defensive catcher but he's striking out 34% of his plate appearances. And Kinsler's "clubhouse" addition is more than taken away by his anemic batting averages, both regular and RISP.

We more than likely would have to eat at least half of the Myers contract if we could get anyone to take him.

I'd rather eat half of it and get rid of him than eat all of it and keep him. If he's traded and bounces back to where he used to be, that's fine. That doesn't mean he would have done the same thing if he'd stayed with us.

I just wonder when Seidler and Fowler will get tired of doing that.

But we got Tatis Jr back for that, almost just like buying him.

Franmil Reyes and Logan Allen to the Indians, Trevor Bauer to the Reds, Yasiel Puig to the Indians, and Taylor Trammell to Padres.
Will Trammell get flipped to another team as part of another deal?

The whole trade is wrong!! Preller gives up a major league guy and another one that may be on the brink of breaking into the bigs for a guy hitting .236 in AA. WTF?? Does he think Trammel is going to be ready next year? His stats in the minors would probably suggest no. And isn't next year supposed to be the Padres year? How long is this team going to rebuild? Unreal!! I would suspect that Preller isn't done yet.

This certainly doesn’t seem equitable and honestly Reyes will be missed.
Something tells me Yates is next, perhaps he too will be traded for another catcher who struggles to hit his weight.

On paper, this trade doesn't look great for the Padres and plenty of writers and anonymously quoted MLB execs are questioning it on their side.
OTOH, some are saying Trammel (despite his down year) has the tools to be a future star if he develops. Two time Futures game participant. Note, he is not supposed to be a very good defensive outfielder either (like Reyes), but has alot of offensive upside.
Logan Allen has been s#!++y, both at El Paso and up with the club but is still only 22.
