So a soon to be 30 yr old reliever with ERA near 4, A barely top 100 prospect with ok changeup and mediocre fastball + slider and a struggling pitching prospect in AA

Amazing work Getz, truly amazing
 



So Padres #5, #7 and #8 prospects and a journeyman reliever.

Pretty embarrassing to walk away with for Cease at this point

Padres didn't part with a single blue-chip top prospect
 
That is a real dogshit trade for a guy with Cy Young potential who makes next to no money with two years of control left
 
Idk where I saw this, but Thorpe was throwing 88 mph in his last ST start supposedly.

Not pretending I know (because I don’t) but a teams #5-7 & 8 ranked prospects seems like a pretty good return if your farm system sucks and you need to infuse some talent.
Is the Padres system that bad or were you expecting “starS” for your star?

They weren't going to get megastars for Cease, not after a down year. Most analysts are grading the Sox return in the C+ to B range which isn't bad. I think we'd all have wanted more but it wasn't going to happen.

Right. He had an awful year on a bad team. It's not like they were trading prime Sale here.

He really wasn't awful. Ks were down slightly, BBs were up slightly, homers up slightly, but the biggest difference was the spike in BABIP. The shitty defense made him look worse than he was.

Padres had 5 guys in top 100

C Ethan Sales (8th)
SS/OF Jackson Merrill (12th)
LHP Robby Snelling (36th)
RHP Dylan Lesko (56th)
RHP Drew Thorpe (85th)

I would say its disappointing to not get any of the top prospects of Padres organization.

Thorpe himself was traded to Padres in December. It raises some red flags IMO for a top 100 prospect to be traded twice within a span of 3 months.

And a 4.58 ERA. Pretty much every statistical category that matters was worse than just about every season he has pitched so far. By his standards, it was pretty much an awful season. Especially when you consider he was coming off a 2nd place CY finish, and top 25 MVP finish. It was pretty f***ing bad.

Yes, ERA was vastly inflated by bad defense. That's the whole point I'm making.
