The Padres and No Trade Clauses

Does No-Trade really mean no-trade? The Padres have three players with no trade clauses and long-term contracts: Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, and Fernando Tatis Jr. A no trade clause offers players stability and a guarantee against being moved to a team or city they would not like. Will a player want to continue to stay when not wanted? When an opportunity to make a trade is presented, a no trade clause may prevent it. In 2022, Eric Hosmer’s limited trade clause allowed him to

Playoff Births and Paternity Leave

The Padres gained some unexpected roster flexibility with recent paternity leaves extended to Mason Miller and Walker Buehler for the birth of their children.

Trading Deadline Hopes

Will Casey Mize and Rob Ray bring the Padres post-season success? How will these moves pan out? Getting two solid starters from the Tigers and the Giants help the Padres bolster their rotation which is critical for the stretch run and for the short series in the first two rounds of the post-season when having two more ace pitchers give the Padres a chance throw a top of the rotation starter in each game. AJ Preller, the Padres’ General Manager has been particularly aggressive at the tr
