I am all for exploring the market for Collins or Perkins this offseason. Nobody is giving anything for Mitchell at this point. I could see a match with SD or KC for Collins and Perkins would be of interest to a number of teams. I am pretty comfortable with Lockridge as our 4th OF or 5th if Mitchell is healthy

SD just traded another SP away...Have this weird feeling Cortes or Quintana is headed to Padreland...

Cortes to SD for Suarez? We get better in the BP and really don't give up anything that would bother us long term. SD can deal Cease and re plenish the coffers.

Going rogue with my predictions Cortes and Quintana to the Padres for Cease - Why? I don't' think we will get much for either one of these pitchers in a vacuum. Padres are super thin at SP. All are free agents at year end, so kind of net net there. Brewers rotation goes from really good to insane and Padres get 2 solid pitchers to cover innings That's my 1 prediction, but I think there will be more deals on the margins.

Also may clear up some roster spots in the minors for prospects they like more/acquire in a trade.

yeah I accidently hit enter when I had just started...I was like 1% done and accidently published it...
