Sending Dylan Head, Wu Suk-Go and Nathan Martorella to the Marlins.

Not sure I understand this trade. They've been trying to trade for Arraez for close to a year, he's a white whale. Probably one of the best pure hitters around. I just don't love the ballpark fit at all. |

Apparently, Jakob Marsee is also going to Miami. Yikes.
I would think the Padres will be moving a current infielder soon. Kim?
Then again, Arraez can always DH.

Lead off, DH, occasional field day. He’s played ‘best’ defense at first base. The rumored trade players are all expendable, and Go just Suk’d. He just never showed enough to convince me otherwise…

He just never showed enough to convince me otherwise… It's a very, very steep price to pay for a year and three quarters of a pricy DH without any real power. |

I guess we are going to find out how good Arraez really is, cause if Petco doesnt ruin him, than maybe he is great after all.

He goes for it, and I respect that. He wants to win now. He at least sure tries to. His trades/signings don't always pan out, but nobody can say he doesn't try. |

Padres are getting cash back in the deal, too. That's almost as important.

Marlins are paying down the contract to the minimum.

If he can hit with RISP, then the power won't matter as much. We have guys that can hit with power. Hopefully, it was a great move by Preller. We'll find out down the road. |

Paying down the money changes the calculus of the deal, though, in a significant way. |

If it's true what Tatis and others have said, that he's the closest thing to Tony Gwynn out there, I have high hopes. |

I'm not a comp person in general, it's a disservice to the players. Arraez has never been in Tony's world on a run creation basis. Does he have a feel for contact? Sure. Is he going to a brutal park for left handed hitters without a ton of pull side power? Yep. |
