I don’t read that as the Padres saying they won’t trade a top 100, just not MacKenzie Gore. That makes sense. Gore is a consensus top 5 prospect in baseball and is one of a handful of pitching prospects with true ace potential. The Padres have a bunch of top 100 guys they could send the Mets. Adrian Morejon and Luis Urias are both somewhat expendable. Michel Baez. Ryan Weathers. I doubt they would move Patiño and they won’t move Gore, but they still have more than enough beyond those two to get it done.

That's a fair point. Although if you're going to trade two and a half years of a talent like Syndergaard, you want to get a sure fire ace back.

the trick with Gates is to go to the one on Cleaver II. It's right by the Rib-Tech. It's still good. Everywhere else is hit and miss.

I thought this was an excellent piece from RR on Nicky Lopez's struggles: https://www.royalsreview.com/2019/7/...ntact#comments
Basically, he makes way too soft contact, and he's making too much contact by swinging at and hitting balls out of the strike zone. He needs to make harder contact, and be more selective at the plate. Hitting a bunch of balls softly is killing him. Quote:

He’s the perfect Dayton guy , swings at everything, makes weak contact, and can run fast. Yay!
I think we’ve acquired like 7 more dudes just like Nicky this past 18 months. |

Lopez has typically struggled a bit initially each time he has moved up the ladder.
if he follows that pattern, he’ll start producing at the major league level soon.

I'll assume that after the loss Ned recapped the game (minus any meaningful insight), talked about the thread used to stitch the baseballs, and then said goodbye?

So how exactly does one rebuild a bullpen? I'm not even talking about getting back to the 14-15 bullpen... just something that isn't far more likely to lose games for us than hold leads and eventually win, like it is now.

The first 104 PAs -- June -- he was .232/.282/.337/59wRC+ The last 100 PAs -- July -- he is .344/.400/.433/125wRC+ His wRC+ by month: April 143 May 109 June 59 July 125 That looks like a pretty standard up-and-downs of a season. His HR power has fallen off -- 9 HRs the first two months, 2 since. But otherwise, he's bounced back quite nicely from a terrible June. He's hardly "about done as an MLB regular." Let's see how he finishes before writing him off. |
