  1. I root for Mazur, but seeing him listed as today’s starter bums me out. He needs time to further develop. 

  2. Padres currently sit about 12m under the luxury tax according to fangraphs.

    They can free up another 7-8m if Darvish doesn’t return.  Save a little under 3m for each month he is gone. 

    So the padres could have 19-20m depending on if Darvish returns or when he returns.  

    Would anyone consider trading for Blake snell?  He is owed roughly 12m still this season (assuming his signing bonus counts against this years tax, which I think it does but isn’t due until 2026).  He does have a player option of 30m next year which I’d assume he would not out of if he pitches well the rest of the year.  

    Prospect cost may not be too high given his opt out and his high salary.  Anyways I’d assume preller who kicks the tires on everyone probably will look into it.  

  3. I know Merril isn’t an Orioles fan but it still surprises me that we drafted him instead of Baltimore. How do you not pick up the hometown guy? I mean I’m glad they didn’t but still!
