Profar scores on Ohtani's 400 footer - then Webb comes in and gives all three runs back. D'oh!

No, it's true. When Soto was traded for, the goal was three postseason runs with him in the fold, with the idea to extend him if they could. When Seidler went and extended Machado, things got more complicated, but the goal was still to try and extend Soto. The sides couldn't get there on terms, Seidler's health battles became more prominent and when it was clear they wouldn't align on an extension, they did the responsible thing and offloaded salary because paying Soto $30M+ became untenable in the wake of Seidler's passing. Signing Bogaerts had no real impact. If anything, Machado's extension was more impactful. I stand corrected. I thought Bogaerts signed after Machado did. No, Bogaerts signed first. The Padres offered Judge a boatload of money, Turner a boatload of money and then pivoted to Bogaerts. But then Seidler went out and extended Manny because Manny had opted out. Seidler and Manny were extremely, extremely close. But the contract for Bogaerts didn't prevent a Soto signing, Soto's asking price and then Seidler's health did.

Kinda surprised to see Arraez back in there - even as DH. He couldn't/didn't play in the ASG. Padres added a player from TJ, Tirso Ornelas, to the 40-man since Darvish is still gone, so it kind of felt like maybe they'd be giving Arraez a little extra time to mend his thumb. Apparently that's not happening today, but it could be a D2D situation - see how he is feeling after today and go from there. Two weeks might be too long to be without Arraez in the line up unless he's just really hurting …

We can't afford to lose series, or go on an extended losing streak. I'm glad Arraez feels like he can go. He's a threat, on the road especially.

Should be fun to watch Josh "Tiny" Naylor again. One the Padres really shouldn't have let go of.

Maybe a more relevant question for today's team than the ones he was on now that he's landed at 1st base. Granted, a certain Padres first baseman caused any number of lineup issues back then - possibly leading to Naylor's trade. We could argue that Waldron was a good get on that trade since he's still on the team, but Clevinger was the one they wanted from that deal. However, Naylor could've taken one of the spots in the OF - hindsight is always 20/20, but as I look at the players in 2024, not one outfielder is left in the Padres organization from 2019. Naylor might've made a difference. He's making one this season in Cleveland.

I thought his career could have been over at that point. Credit to him for making the comeback, but he really had nowhere to play when the trade was made.

Ryan, safe to say these ESPN estimated return dates are highly unrealistic?
Fernando Tatis Jr. Jul 26 Joe Musgrove Aug 6

A healthy and competitive Musgrove would be a BIG help right now. Not sure that's what they're going to get, though.

Is it just me or does the Apple telecast have a way higher volume on the crowd noise than the broadcaster's voices? It's really hard to tell what they're even saying.

Just when you thought Kolek was giving the club some quality outings... 0.53 ERA over the last month and a half. The things we take for granted... This post hasn't aged well.
