Wonder if they have a trade partner lined up for tatis? Could be they are tired of the headache.

Don't they plan on moving Tatis to either 1B or the OF? They don't want him at SS, want to reduce his injury risk. Even though he's a headache, I dont think they're ready to give up on him. SD wants to win now. Their fan base is revitalized and they've got great talent. They're ready to go all in. 

I haven't been following the offseason rumor mill. Is Philly really considered the favorites for Trea? Swanson to Chicago? 

I doubt they'd trade Tatis - that'd be a really hard contract to trade right now after his suspension.  

The Padres already have a luxury tax of about $230mil.  The Padres play in a decent market, but I highly doubt they'd add Turner and go above $260mil, especially if they intend to attempt to re-sign Soto when he's a free agent soon.  This seems like a ploy to get the Dodgers more involved, as yes - the Phillies are the favorites for Turner, who is believed to want to play on the east coast.

Tatis isn't going to be a shortstop next year

That’s all the confirmation I need. Thanks.

Even if not, I don’t envision the Padres adding a star SS to an already high payroll.  Their farm is thin after the Soto trade, and I imagine they’d like to re-sign Soto too.

This strikes me as an attempt to get the Dodgers more involved with bidding.  Don't see why the Padres, who will get Tatis back, would offer a huge deal to Turner.  If they can lure the Dodgers in to the bidding, then they can try to squeeze more out of the Phillies, who are the heavy favorites to sign him.

Tatis defense is not Shortstop quality and he did not play one game there last season and won't when he returns. They've tried hiding him in the outfield but he is probably a DH.

Well, I mean .. he played 0 games last year, so yeah, he did not play one game there last year .. or anywhere, for that matter.

Tatis defense baseball is not Shortstop MLB quality and he did not play one game there last season and won't when he returns. They've tried hiding him in the outfield on the injured and suspended list but is probably a DH Walmart Greeter.

I’d take Swanson. He’s great defensively.

Sooo as of this point, the Halos have one starting pitcher spot and a closer spot to address, plus possibly another set up man and a stop gap SS who can field and hit decently enough?
