00:00Preller's decision to give up six prospects for two relievers.
00:07Were they worth those six prospects?
00:10Well, it all depends on from what prism you view it.
00:14And from the Padres, I'll tell you how the Padres, the Padres have, they have to win
00:20this year or next year, two years from now, Machado's contract goes like 30 million a
00:25year.
00:26Bogarts goes up.
00:27Tatis goes up two years from now.
00:28They're going to have like $90 million in the payroll just among those three players.
00:32They're going to have trouble spreading it out.
00:34Also Preller is on the hot seat this year.
00:37He needs to win right now.
00:39So they've given up nine of their top 15 prospects since spring training.
00:44The Dylan Seas trade, the Arise trade.
00:47That's a big steep price to pay, especially lately for the two relievers.
00:51But that's why they're doing it.
00:52They've got to win this year or this year, preferably or next, or they're going to go
00:57not to go downhill.
00:59They had a big win last night.
01:01They stunned the Dodgers.
01:02We'll see if it all pays off.
01:03I think Seas has paid off with the no hitter.
01:06Only other guy but Musgrove to do it in a Padre uniform.
