“MORNING MEMO ON BASEBALL”
=========
PADRES…Begin in house meetings to evaluate what to do with the roster after the teams annual playoff failure…Same time, John Seidler sends out ‘thank you letter’ to fans for the record setting season…Makes mention re-evaluation of roster is a must…
Of course decisions have to be made on whom to re-sign (Michael King)..whom to let go (Dylan Cease)…whom to try to get to stay (Robert Suarez)..and what changes need to be made (Luis Arraez salary)..Ryan O’Hearn insertion at first base…
The great unknown, how much gas does Yu Darvish have left after three years of elbow issues…Will Joe Musgrove be the pitcher he was prior to his elbow surgery…No comment on whether the payroll will bump up from its (211M) figure of this past season…
Best situation, the Padres could have as much as (65M) budget space, but that would mean everyone is leaving the building who could leave-which would create massive holes…
Track record of AJ Preller-shop at Dollar General and find cost saving replacements, and go back to Japan-Taiwan where there is an ever increasing pool of players available yearly.
Long off season ahead-lots of decisions to be made. Coming up, opt-out dates for guys who can leave, followed by the (22M) qualifying offer date of free agents you might to keep.
Stay tuned, a busy and important off season is coming
