Lynn is being plagued by LHB this year. The OPS from LHB is ~.300 points higher than his career and the BABIP against LHB is near .400. I'm not saying go after him either, but he's striking a ton of people out and his FIP is about a run and a half better than his ERA.

Lynn hasn't been a good pitcher this year he's a hard pass for me.

Now the Padres are back to taking calls for Hader and Snell, and even allow a 10% opportunity for teams to make a trade for Soto.

I don't think the Padres even know what they want to do. Because what they want to do (win the World Series) is not a possibility and the owner gathered all this debt a year ago thinking it would be easy.  They could also be attempted some haggling tactics to drive up the price for any would-be suitors who are interested in mentioned players.

Really not sure what you posted or why, but this is why he hasn't been good this year like I stated in my original post. I'm pretty sure I said I'm not interested as well, but yeah.

That would be me responding to the wrong comment, I read joelala's comment in your reply and meant to replay back to him.

Trading Soto now would be a great, needed move for the Padres.  I can't see the O's getting in on it though they could certainly use him.  Maybe the Twins, Brewers or Blue Jays pursue him?  Can't see the Padres trading him to the Giants or anyone else in the NL West that could use him, though it's possible.

I saw DeRosa pumping up Lynn (his Team USA ace) the other day, spinning yarns like it'd take him three hours to become a clubhouse leader, and model pitching with edge fastballs at the top of the zone.

I do tinfoil hat give Lynn a little bit of a pass for maybe not being super invested in these White Sox the year after LaRussa.    When a Player sees an Org indulging a whim, it might be disheartening from a buy in perspective.

Including the freshly qualified Kyle Bradish, there are just 28 Active Roster SP in the 2023 AL.

Lynn today is 28th in ERA (aka Last - Lyles 2nd worst, Gibson 5th worst, Kremer 6th worst), 12th in k-bb, and 21st in Stuff+.     Basically one each of 0th percentile, 25th and 50th by those 3 measurements.    He has a 112 ERA+ in 1800-odd innings, and may or may not be toast.

They had the #1 minor league system in baseball a few years back, and then they started buying free agents and trading away a lot of their talent. I remember thinking at the time that they were rushing and not taking advantage of having such a solid minor league system

    • Baltimore and DC surrounding population around 9 million. NYC around 24 million.
    • This is accurate based on pockets.  But the Yankees have positive Cash Flow even with the huge payroll, because they are the richest franchise in the MLB.  The fact that the owner can fund higher salaries is certainly important, but it isn't the same thing as team revenue.
    • These two paragraphs are not congruent.  I disagree that the Orioles have to resign Burnes.  I think they should be in on him, but they don't have to sign him. I completely agree that if they do not sign him the have to have another TOR.  I think counting on Bradish to return is a poor decision.  You hope so, but planning on it would be weak.  Same with assuming #2 status for Rodriquez.  His case is stronger of course, but still.  We have some depth IF we have a TOR and that should be Burnes or someone comparable.  
    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.
