1. My thoughts put to paper.

2. This would fill nearly all of the team needs.  

   Perhaps another minor move or two but if they land both of these cats we basically roll.  

   Bracing for impact one way or another this week. 

3. Since it’s from Japan and they’re 12 hours ahead, this isn’t just speculation, it’s spoilers from the future.

5. I’m not gonna pretend to fully understand the Padres financial situation, but how do we afford this without losing anyone?

   Padres said we’d spend around the same as last year. We are estimated at 219 this year. Last year was 235, which insinuates that we have 16mil in spend. These two should cost almost that much each for just this year.

   Not saying it wouldn’t be worth it or this won’t happen. I’m just tryna make the math work out.

   Maybe crone or a laureano package is coming?

7. Scott Boras representing Imai. That’s a bad start to negotiations.

   Edit: Aaaand he signed with the Astros.

8. Imai to the Astros, unfortunately

9. Tatsuya to Astros. Please Friar Gods. I’m begging you. Let us get Okamoto.
