Not yet, today's the deadline to get it done.

I like Souza but he was never gonna start here with our abundance of OFs. Glad we got our SS of the future for him(who can also play 2B if we decide to resign Desmond).

Looks like there's a SNAFU on the Kemp deal.

Yeah. Apparently he's got arthritic hips and he didn't even know it.

The worst part about it is that it may have violated HIPAA and the Padres could get into some sh*t for releasing this information without Kemp's approval.

Now the Padres just need to scrap that deal and call on J-Up!

Did the Dodgers have to pay more of his salary?

Ramona Shellburne says $32 million given to Padres in her ESPN write up on the deal.

It was $31 million last time i believe.

I wonder what is up with J-Up now? No one is taking BJ with him anyway.

Justin Upton to the Padres is happening, according to sources.

So, the Padres have one of the five best outfields in baseball now (if Kemp stays healthy).

Did you except something else? That's a definitive Sabean deal. He's been doing this for years.

But hey, it works.

Yes, nothing says Sabean like overpaying role players who help win a ring. But hey, at least we have 2016 to look forward to.

The Dodgers and Padres can be offseason superstars all they want. Doesn’t mean **** until they win a ring or 3.

I know Wil Myers played some CF in Tampa but how good is he going to be there?
my goodness that lineup is gonna be tough to get through. They have solid starting pitching and what was the best bullpen (or 2nd best) in baseball last year. They're scary.

btw.
Between the combo of no offense, 3 huge ball parks where balls die, the Giants trolling instead of dominating their way to WS wins and east coast bias, the NL West has either been ignored or a punching bag.

no more.
behind the NL Central for best division imo that quickly.
