I'd rather try and fail and not do anything at all. Plus, im not saying trade Pena or a rental - Pena ceiling is probably CJ, who is a top 5 SS in baseball
Look If you dont want to trade someone like Pena, Williams or lara for CJ Abrams - Thats on you, but dont complain when this team comes up short again.
We have a glaring weakness on the left side - It needs to be address.
We have never truly gone for it. The 2018 was the closest
Why is that so hard to understand - Eventually, you need to do something to get over the hump
Use the 2018 Trade Deadline as example
Acquired 3B Mike Moustakas from Royals.
Acquired 2B Jonathan Schoop from Orioles.
Acquired RHP Joakim Soria from White Sox.
I would say that was the last time they went "all in"
Padres didnt have as good as team as we have now - An all in move is like 1 or two players. Not askiing for everyone.
But based on your past comments on this, you are drinking that Mark A Kool-Aid of having an enjoyable summer,.
