Apparently the Padres are still in the running for ... wait for it... Harper.

If I'm Philly, I move on and wish Harper the best. Mike Trout is firmly on radar, and that's where I focus. As others have said, you don't know what Harper will give year to year, and Trout is consistent. More important . Trout loves Philly!

I just don't know why the Padres aren't focused on starting pitching. It seems short sighted to invest in third base and outfield when you haven't had an ace in a decade plus. A host of top of the line pitching is scheduled to hit the market next year (de Grom, Sale, Hamels, Porcello, Bumgarner, etc.) that it would have made more sense for them to spend in 2020 than it did wasting 300 mil on a non-factor like Machado. He doesn't put them any closer to winning than they were without him.

Agreed. Pitching wins. You need bats but all the bats in the world won’t help if you have no pitching. Machado will help San Diego as much as he helped Baltimore. Maybe 2-4 more wins.

If they were on the cusp last year it would make sense that Machado could be the it factor they need. But they lost almost 100 games. So what are they going to lose this year, 90 instead?
Wouldn't it have made more sense and been significantly cheaper if they signed both Gio Gonzalez and Dallas Keuchel? Last edited by packs; 02-21-2019 at 01:03 PM.

The Mets pen was awful in 2018. Couple that with the overall health of the Mets SP and innings limits, the pen need to be lights out.
Pitching was key for the Mets in 2018, not the bats.

When I said you need pitching - I mean a lot of it. Overall they were 16th in the league in era. Their bullpen stinks. They were also 24th in runs scored. So there’s that.
