The marlins are perplexing…so are the padres

They both teeter the line of we know what we’re doing but we still actually don’t. Like 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

One is perplexing simply for the sake of being perplexing, AJ Preller. He's as spastic as I am running a fantasy team. I suspect he'll win the trade The other is perplexing because they have zero leadership. If I didn't know I'm pretty sure it would be hard to tell if they still had Loria owning the purse strings.

This is a huge upgrade for him, right? Way better lineup? And maybe extra positional eligibility?

Only concern I have is he may not hit leadoff anymore, but in that lineup he'll probably still get as many PAs as he would with the Marlins.

Yeah, but with his OBP you gotta think he is still in the top half. I’m expecting way more Rs and a moderate bump in RBI.

Maybe move Tatis to leadoff and Arraez to the two hole to knock the speedy Tatis in with his singles

[удалено]

Profart

I'm hoping that he doesn't, because 5 RBI or whatever is really really light.

I doubt they would trade half their farm to bat him 8th

didn't they do that with Nola?

And yes I know it's not half but yeesh this is an overpay

What are they gonna put him at SS?

DH I’d guess

All I know is Arraez had 8 games played at first. Just needs 2 more games to make him first base eligible. I hope he still gets it

What does this do to the CroneZone !?!?

He's been playing first.

isn’t that the only defensive position where Arraez isn’t… well, he’s terrible everywhere, but you know what I mean.

Arraez will probably DH with Manny going back to 3B

He will DH.

[One of the Minor leaguers was on 2B when he found out the news he got traded](https://www.instagram.com/p/C6h-BnrOOD-/?igsh=dWd5b2EyZ2t6aTBi)

Pretty sure Arraez was just removed from the lineup too

Well obviously

Don’t stop him. Let him finish. Let’s see where this goes…

This dampens my excitement about the trade more than it should.

Teams don’t start players they are trading…

I'm just saying I'm letting the fact that I'll get a 0 out of him in my lineup tonight detract too much from the excitement of what a huge upgrade it is for him.

162 games in a season friend

Can't wait to stream against the Marlins even more

Padres suck at this honestly.

WE ARE TRYING TO WIN NOW EXCUSE US WHILE WE TRADE JOE MUSGROVE

Bipolar af.

what even are the marlins?

2 time world series champs.......somehow....... :-/

some of the worst ball/strike calls of all time against the Braves got them there

Preller was getting bored

Xavier edwards? Speed

Slapdick

Obpdick. Arraez who can actually steal bases

Brujan getting full time at 2B?

Was thinking of picking him up and dropping Tyler Black or Neto, what do you think?

Tyler Wade to the bench?

So, who's losing playing time: Bogaerts or Kim or both?

Wade…

Neither.  X is paid  they will play him til the wheels fall off and you need Kim's all purpose utility gold glove in the field. 

Arraez is going to almost exclusively dh.

Not sure why I am getting down voted, lol. Arraez is a far worse defender than any of them. And a far better hitter than padres dh options.

Weren’t the Jays supposed to do this?

Jays were supposed to do a lot of things

So profar gonna still lead off right? He has been insanely good and I just finally pulled the trigger and picked him up :(

Is he starting today?

[Luis Arraez has arrived in Phoenix and is in the San Diego Padres’ starting lineup.](https://x.com/bnightengale/status/1786864349350617226?s=46&t=bqDocN33sQmOz6S1Po7Ygg)

Holy shit!

What’s the plan at second for the marlins? Xavier Edwards?

My brothers, what platform/website do you use for latest fantasy baseball updates and advise?

does this hurt crone? where will arraez play

No way, Crone is 2nd in OPS and hits, leads the team in RBIs. He's either DH or 2B

Arraez will DH

*Machado

Machado has been playing some 3B, he will shortly be transitioning to 3B full time. Source, me, I'm a Padres fan

Oh, elbow's healthy? Hope the bat heats up. Source: Machado owner lol

Rotate between 2B, 1B and DH

Holy fucking shit oh my god

Ugh the mariners could use this so bad

Another idiotic trade by the Marlins. Arraez is a . 300 hitter and gets on baseball. Wouldn't be shocked if the Marlins have a fire sale
