Guys like Souza bust more often than not though. Big frame, great production, but old for their level. Risky. This trade looks pretty damn bad for TB IMO. If this is what they think Meyers is worth, they must not see much in him. Yes but guys like Myers who put up a 0.1 in their sophomore year are also bust candidates.

Buster Olney ?@buster_ESPN SD in perfect position to squeeze LAD for more money in Kemp deal: Kemp's medicals ugly, LAD has cash and needs Kemp deal more than SD does.
Bob Nightengale ?@bnightengale The holdup in Matt Kemp trade is because the physical revealed arthritis in both hips. The #Padres continue to consult medical experts.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that Medlen’s contract guarantees him $8.5MM. He’ll earn $2MM in 2015, $5.5MM in 2016 and has a $10MM mutual option with a $1MM buyout that is paid to him regardless of which side declines. Rosenthal adds that Medlen can earn up to $4MM worth of incentives in 2015 and $6MM of incentives in 2017

Bob Nightengale ?@bnightengale The holdup in Matt Kemp trade is because the physical revealed arthritis in both hips. The #Padres continue to consult medical experts. That's sad news. Matt Kemp was such an amazing talent when healthy. ...and there still may be gas in that tank, but we now have a good idea why his defense has gone so far south. There were a few people on this board insisting he was a must have when the Sox were scouting around for outfielders prior to last season. That would be a huge sack of cash to have to haul around so that you could pay him, even as he becomes evermore one dimensional.

The Braves screwed up the Medlen thing. Supposedly they wanted to keep him, but were unable to work out a two-year deal at a lower AAV than he'd have gotten in arbitration by the non-tender deadline, and expected they'd be able to resign him. Oops.

Apparently the Kemp deal is going down with no changes to the original package..
Ken Rosenthal ?@ken_Rosenthal 18m18 minutes ago In other words, #Dodgers still sending Kemp and $32M to #Padres for Grandal, Wieland, Eflin. And Eflin will go to #Phillies in Rollins deal.
. . .
Mark Feinsand ?@feinsandnydn 14m14 minutes ago A's get a minor-league pitcher or two for Norris, source said. Trying to confirm names.
Jon Morosi ?@jonmorosi 6m6 minutes ago One source believes Seth Streich also heading from Athletics to Padres in Norris trade.
LOL, Padres farm, Hedges and 150 org guys.

Corey Brock ?@followthepadres 3m3 minutes ago Can confirm. ~ @jeffpassan Final: A's acquire RHPs Jesse Hahn, R.J. Alvarez for C Derek Norris, LHP Seth Streich + international sign slot.
Interesting that International slot money should be included. That would seem to indicate that the Padres are going to open up their wallets a bit.

Had a feeling Norris would never at least catch for Oakland again.

I looked through several days of Heyman and Rosenthal tweets, first time Fedex was mentioned was after the trade. You could be right but I haven't seen him mentioned before. This was typical: Ken Rosenthal @ken_Rosenthal · 6h 6 hours ago In other words, #Dodgers still sending Kemp and $32M to #Padres for Grandal, Wieland, Eflin. And Eflin will go to #Phillies in Rollins deal. The delay btw, was apparently the Padres waiting for an answer from their insurer.

Who plays CF, Myers or Kemp? Either way yikes. I'd put Kemp at 1B.

I don't know what the Padres are doing. All of a sudden they want to play with big boys. In one way at least there making moves and if I was a fan I would be happy with the active front office. But questionable talent coming in Kemp,Upton,Myers. They traded there starting 3B last year.
I wonder what happened in those front office meetings to change direction. Maybe they got fed up with trying to build farm system. It's funny how Grandal stock has fallen to me. I guess getting offense is hard to find. Makes me think the Sox should get something decent for Craig especially if he looks good in spring training if they wait that long.
