Preller ought to lose his job immediately if he made that trade for Marcus Stroman.

I do believe Stroman will get traded this July, and I do think his trade value will be going up. I know it's early, but it looks like he's back on track and over a couple nagging injuries. Of course, he could very well get hurt again but who knows.

The 3 prospects in the proposal are 8th and 20th ranked in Padres farm system and the outfielder playing with the big club.

I think stroman is worth a couple prospects in the later top 100 range. And they wouldn't settle for anything else.

@minnow75 Yes i agree that his stock is increasing. However, both of those prospects are or would be ranked higher in toronto system. Baez is ranked 57 overall on mlb which would place him 3rd on toronto's system. Reyes is also under team control for awhile, 23 years old. Hit 280 with 16 homers in limited time in petco. i wouldn't say this is far off in a trade for a guy in a contract season.

Stroman can become a free agent after 2020, not this year.

It seems Stroman is one of those guys who's name recognition is better than his talent. And I don't think there's many teams, if any, who would give up top-shelf talent for him.

Go read the outlooks for him. The most optimistic outlook has him at "maybe a top 100 pitcher again". You don't trade really good, controllable talent for a "maybe top 100 pitcher".

looking at this now, this would be an over pay by the padres. reyes would be their best hitter not named vlad right now.
