Report: Padres not ready to move on starting pitching free agents

1. So dumb to trade pivetta

2. Interesting.

   We need another starter so trading Pivetta seems counter intuitive. However, can Nick be traded to somehow gain two starters?

3. That's why they signed King, so it would calm the masses when they traded Pivetta.

4. Broke franchise going nowhere.. Typical day in Sad Diego…😂😂GO DODGERS 🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆 3-PEAT INCOMING….

5. Has Ken Rosenthal been right about anything yet? Multiple stories stating what the padres will do, 0 predictions correct. He is getting all his information from agents (and sometimes rival teams) trying to pump up their clients market. They don't have 1/100 of the other things preller is concocting.

6. dodgers single hand destroyed y'all

7. Fernando Tatis’ “prime” was short-lived—5 years of decline. Meanwhile, the Dodgers keep breaking teams and expectations.

8. 2024 was your opportunity and you choked.

   Anything the Madres do this season and beyond is irrelevant.

9. PLEASE keep Pivetta

10. This offseason has been so exhausting. Just ready to get on with it. We know the ending to this movie. We’ve seen it many times before.

11. Btw Tatis is 26 years old dude

12. Trust in AJ. He told me Kash Mayfield is a generational pitcher. He was only drafted a few picks below Yesavage and Yesavage was a key piece in Toronto's world series. And fans told me Schoolcraft is a year away from dominating as a starter.

13. Selling high on Pivetta isn't a bad idea. We could afford/add two starters for him.

14. If AJ was smart he'd find a way to deal for Dalton Rushing on the Dodgers. A good hitter, sufficient defensive catcher, can play all over the field, too, inexpensive, and he's blocked from playing time, just like Michael Busch.

15. If the Padres trade Nick it will be an obvious sign they are not serious about contending in 2026.

16. In Kings interview he made it clear it was his understanding the Padres would not be moving Nick and it didn't sound like he would be too happy about it either.

17. You could say the same thing about our left fielder we got from Baltimore. He also had a career year last season so do we get rid of him too? You hang on to Nick until the trade deadline and see what position the Padres are in. Nick may have been a one-time wonder last season with the Padres but what other options do they have for a starter's role in this organization? Move Nick and you're just not serious about 2026

18. This whole entire lack of urgency with the Padres-should be a strong indication that-the front office and and local Stadium attendees fans are just in it for entertainment-

    if you don't trade Manny Machado who for Starting pitching…

    He Machado results have proof and proven….

    He can not…produce in the ( clutch) when pressure matters…

    He is hitting for the last three and a half years. .192 with runners in scoring position RISP –

    regardless of the no trade clause find a way- Get it Done ALREADY to bring the albatross contract DOOMing the FRANCHISE

    Give in Trade 50 million to another team as incentive

    whatever it is and whatever it takes –

    because you will never win anything playoff or World Series in San Diego with Manny Machado –

    people consistently apologize for him…and say well he'll come around BS bulshit

    This guy is inconsistent non pressure horrific in the clutch moments

    slow urgency and very consistent with the lack of urgency just like the front office to Do the right required thing –

    trade him for starting pitching ASAP stop the delays time and time again

    that's why San Diego will never win with him here

    Prediction for 2026
    4th place – 74 – 88

19. Hey man! Just wanted to drop a line.

    Go Daddy Dodgers!

20. I say don’t trade Pivetta. They are one legit FA pitcher from having a heck of a rotation. Nick Martinez is my pick.

21. I think what is being said is lore. I think Preller will keep him because he typically trades from strength. Rosenthal I think is unrealiable and full of shit.

22. I really don't see this team improving over last year.
