Yup, just got the same thing. Didn't see that coming. My wife is gonna be pissed, she loves Kimbrel.
I really like Kimbrel. I hate losing him. But I guess you have no need for shutdown closer when your team sucks so bad you don't ever get to use him.
You do realize that we also got rid of BJ Upton don't you?
We'll be better than most people think.
What's that mean? Instead of 65 wins they get 73?
Where do you see we'll be worse than last season?
You honestly think our 29th ranked offseason will be worse this season? Yeah, the homeruns will drop, but so will strikeouts, and you know, good things happen when you put the ball in play.
Our starting staff should be improved with Teheran's and Wood's maturing and adding Miller and our BP took a hit when Simmons went down and we traded Kimbrel, but we added some nice pieces to it as well.
I'm not gonna say we're gonna make a post season run, but I think we'll at least be .500 and a step in the right direction.
I thought Kimbrel could be dealt at the trade deadline, but I didn't think Upton's contract was movable in any package. I am kinda assuming/hoping the Padres are on the hook for Upton's entire contract. That is a lot of $.
