Seems like a lot compared to some of the other trades. Maybe I’m overvaluing Lesko.
Holy fuck
That seems like a haul for a 32-year-old reliever!
THE RELIEVER MARKET HAS HIGHER INFLATION THAN THE US MARKET
That seems pretty steep to give up even for a good reliever
Seriously tho, Lesko + Rays development we are looking at a future ace
Offloaded a homophobe for Lesko and a dude named HOMER
Hell yeah.
so how much would Snell get back
Didn’t realize how badly Lesko was pitching this year. Which means Tampa will fix him and he’ll win the Cy Young in 2026.
Seems like a lot to give up for a reliever
Cool now trade the other homophobes on the team
Major overpay, not super excited about this one.
God Damn it Preller
Every stinking time anyone trades with the Rays. Adam is good but bullpen arms are so expendable. He’s not worth Lesko alone and he threw 2 others in.
Is this the price of bullpen arms in 2024?
Padres top prospects have not been performing well this year but damn that’s some good grabs for the Rays
Bro Dylan Lesko for James Adam is hilarious I’m sorry
Lmaoooo
If this is RP pricing Chad Green needs to go asap
jesus, why did we pay so much?
Feels a bit steep but it makes sense. Adam is good, cheap, and is under team control through 2026, so 2 more years after this year. Lesko has been bad this year, but obviously has a high ceiling. Homer Bush has a lot of potential though. Overall, a decent trade for both sides, Padres were in desperate need of another solid reliever
Imagine what they could get if they sold Fairbanks..
Tampa does selling right, if you’re doing it you have to go all in
Lmao Padres baby what is you doin
California doesn’t have like pride nights or anything like that, right? So Adam will fit right in?
I don’t like this trade at all. Seems like a massive overpay. Lesko has been having a bad year, but still don’t like trading multiple prospects for a reliever.
Please Jed. Trade Merryweather, Leiter jr, and Miller and Neris fuck it we ball.
Hell yeah
I get he’s not a FA until 2027 but that seems super pricey for a decent reliever
Another deal? There won’t be any players left to trade by the time the actual deadline rolls around.
Fuck it this trade deadline is mad fun.
If I was a GM, I would always prioritize deals offered to me by AJ Preller.
Padres fans defending this trade is the biggest cope I’ve ever seen
Padres always do something funny around deadline time
It just be weird to be traded from St Pete to San Diego. Being from St Pete but in SoCal for years, whenever I go to San Diego I always think that it’s bizarro St Pete. They both have Great seafood, sports, outdoorsy, and solid beer/brewery scene, and a coastal military presence. However San Diego is quite similar and also better in almost every way lol
Confused needed leverage reliever but feels like an overpay.
if it means anything, Homer Bush Jr absolutely rakes in my OOTP save

PRELLER IS 8 LINES DEEP WHAT THE FUCK HAHAHA
[Padres’ #3, 8, 12 prospects per MLB Pipeline](https://x.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1817570170241683540)
Rays having a great deadline my christ
