Padres twitter in mass celebration at the apparent end of the Hosmer era.

I've seen some speculation that Frazier make play some OF because Profar and Myers aren't exactly awesome out there.

Doug Eddings umped a game so badly yesterday he's trending on Twitter. The Padres Broadcast made ALL of their "plays of the game" video of his calls and said he was the reason "the fans came to the ballpark".

Profar is the biggest loser, IMO. But Hosmer will sit more now unless he goes on one of his white hot streaks.

Re: These Merrifield to the Mariners rumors...
That's a team with a pretty deep farm system with a lot of guys of value close to the majors. I could see that actually working. Julio Rodriguez, Jarred Kelenic, George Kirby, and Emerson Hancock are off the table. Noelvi Marte should be (I can't imagine the Mariners would consider it, and he's at High-A, but he's so good you jump at it if they're willing to do it, even straight-up). But I could see something like Taylor Trammell (who is a very, very Royals player - incredible tools, could play a good CF at the K) + Brandon Williamson (big lefty P at AA with good strikeout numbers) or Zach DeLoach (all-around OF at AA, college guy with good blend of average/power/obp).

When you extrapolate Whit's WAR based on Baseball Reference he should finish the year with a 3.5-4.0 WAR. Since
June 1st he has a .296 BA and .755 OPS. Hell, May is the reason his stats don't look too great. In the month of May he had a .230 BA and .656 OPS. All players have a cold spell and by the time the season is over Whit is gonna have himself a normal Whit year. You are right though that he is technically out of his prime and he's already 32 years old. He has a pretty affordable contract, but that doesn't really add as much value when the player is 32 and a half years old already. |

Yeah if you go off Twitter and message boards fans across the league all think it's Whit for someone like Taylor Trammell and a couple other smaller pieces, especially since the Mariners have too many OF prospects and he's the kind of raw talent Dayton would like. He's a former top 100 prospect but he does strike out a ton.

The Royals have had a good week.... Dayton will not trade Whit, then we will go 0-for-August.

But I don't think it's a "blow away" offer. Not sure it would be enough for KC/Moore to pull the trigger. Quote:
I'm not sure it's quite enough, even with them lowering their asking price for Merrifield, to make it happen.

Whit's contract is damn cheap. This year he is at 6.5 million. Next year is 2.75 million and he has a club option for 2023 for 6.5.

I’d like for whit to go somewhere relevant and maybe win something. He ain’t winning shit in KC.

Kind of why many were pissed 2 seasons back when he was not traded at his absolute peak when we knew the team was going to suck for years to come. Obviously, it's easy to sit here and say he should have been traded, but if the offers weren't there then they weren't there.
