Do you think the Padres have the budget to sign Skubal? It'd be AMAZING if they did, but I don't know if I think the new ownership has the stomach for that right off the bat.

Love the aggressive spending! What do you think the Friars give up to get Logan Gilbert? Putting Morejon in the rotation feels risky to me, but maybe he gets piggybacked early on to make sure he is stretched out. No Ty France?
