  1. imagine darvish and sasaki team up against ohtani and yamamoto. Need darvish to work his magic and try and get sasaki

  2. People are saying that we don’t have any intl signing bonus pool money left to sign him but I don’t believe it?? Does anyone have some insight they can provide about this?

  3. Why is Sasaki all of a sudden a Dodger favorite? I thought Preller had been doing his best job and recruiting him and getting him vetted for the Padres? What am I missing

  4. At this point I hope Senga and Imanaga are doing as much convincing and promoting their franchises as we do. Sure I would love for this guy to be a Padre, but as salty as one can be I just hope he signs with anyone but *them*.

  5. May DARVISH work all his magic and bring the kid home 🙌 . LA is already tooo crowded.. He would be his own man in SD 🤎

  6. Does international signing pool money have anything to do with this? Because a post on r/baseball says we have negative dollars in that area.

  7. I could be wrong but if he officially posts in December, the international pool money will be for 2025, which would mean we will have money.

  8. If the Padres had Roki in addition to Darvish and we play the Dodgers with Ohtani and Yamamoto, imagine the Japanese viewership. Imagine taking our already intense rivalry to Japan. That would be crazy for the ratings
