I think SD is about to sell hard, possibly including Soto.

They absolutely wrecked a good farm system last July for no discernible reason.

Responses:

They thought that was their window…and let’s be honest - before the last 12 months, Soto was at worst the 3rd most “all-Time potential” guy in basebal - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:01 8

  - I look at their team stats, and there's no reason they should be this bad...they have at least 3 guys on pace for 6+ WAR - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:13 6
    - Alex Anthopoulos has quietly assembled a superteam of baseball quants, and the one thing he prioritizes the most is clubhouse fit. - David Jul 28, 10:30 5
      - Plus having a few of the guys take robbery-level contracts to facilitate payroll space. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:34 2
        
        I feel a lot worse about Albies. I honestly wish we'd fix it. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:37 1
        
        Albies is an underpay, but where he was at the time...it could have gone the other way within reason. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 10:49
      - What if you don’t use analytics or care about the clubhouse? Sounds like a winning team, right? - spamlet Jul 28, 10:34 1
        
        The fact that y'all couldn't unlock Giolito is maddening. -- nm - David Jul 28, 10:35
Hader/Snell being talked up for dealing -- nm* - budice Jul 28, 09:59
