  1. Waiting for them to sign Michael King and Ha-seong Kim, they would then have a bunch of players on the 2024 Padres team.

  2. As a world renowned investor who owns one single share of Atlanta Braves Holdings… I approve

  3. Pretty affordable AAV but I’m surprised to see him get 3 years at his age. I don’t think I’ll ever understand the relief pitcher market.

  4. 2022: sign Kenley to 1 year 16 million deal to close. Acquire Raisel midseason on 3/43.5 to be setup guy for a season and closer the next 2

    2026: sign Raisel to 1 year 16 million deal to close. Acquire Suarez on 3/45 to be setup guy for a season and closer the next 2

  5. Crazy the Padres can lose a guy that got them 76 saves over the last two years and still have arguably the best group of high-leverage bullpen arms in the sport

  6. That doesn’t seem like a huge deal for how he pitched as a closer, but I forgot he’s 35 since he debuted pretty late after coming from Japan was it?

  7. As someone who has enjoyed getting drunk at the battery before a Braves game one time, I approve

  8. See ya Bobby Fastballs. As much as my heartrate elevated whenever I saw a hitter working the count on him, you can’t argue with results; he was really, really good for us. Hope everything works out for him in Atlanta.

  9. The mets already signed a closer i’m confused on why the sky is falling because they didn’t get Suarez? You gave Devin Williams closer money but you wouldn’t do that if you didn’t think he would be good enough. Middle relief is a lot more solvable than a solid closer

  10. They have Jose and Robert, all thats left is for Ranger to finish the Triforce of Suarez.
