Luis Arraez TRADED to the San Diego Padres Reaction 

As a Padres fan, I'm more excited about this than I was when we got Soto

Now, the attendance at loanDepot Park will go from over 8000 people to probably over 5000 people. Apparently, baseball isn’t working in the city of Miami unless it’s the world baseball classic

The video clip of the guys in the middle of a minor league game being pulled off the field, told they had been traded, and sent packing is epic! One of the guys was a runner on second base. The awkward stroll of two of the players down the right field line as the video broadcast cuts to commercial is epic!

Offensively, this is the one area they needed improvement on and that makes the most sense overall. I was nervous Preller might swing for a Pete Alonso type (not that there is anything wrong with Alonso) but we needed someone who could leadoff and get on-base for this current line-up. Having him for next season as well, even a bigger bonus. Pauley is the likely odd man out, but he's young and definitely looks over-matched atm. He's young though and got some solid experience. They did say today they also got some cash considerations, so am wondering how much that was, but we'll see. They are still sitting under the CBT, but if we took Arraez's contract straight up, we'd be about 4-5 mill under. I agree another starter would make sense, and I have a feeling Preller is not going to wait for the trade deadline. His job is def on the line this year with new MGMT, so he needs this team to hit the playoffs. Overall, as a Padres fan, love what Preller did this year so far. Adding Cease and Arraez is no small thing, and they kept their Top 5 prospects in doing so.

I see a lot of early scoring, a hit machine to put lots of pressure quickly on a starter

Immediately thought of your marlins prediction when this got announced, way to call your shot and hit it man, that’s real ball knowledge.

Arraez isn’t Soto, but he covers the on base side of Sotos game that the Padres were desperately missing

Manny Machado still isn't ready to play 3B every day, so they may split time at DH with Luis Arraez. Ha-Seong Kim has played SS, 3B and 2B. Jake Cronenworth has played 1B, SS and 2B. Xander Boagaerts has played 2B and SS. I could see Mike Shildt mixing it up and getting Luis in there. Luis Arraez isn't the greatest fielder, but he is serviceable at 1B or 2B.

Lets not forget thst the Marlins are paying nearly all of Arraez contract this year

Watch the full ads for Robbie! He is the man. Go Orioles!!!!

may the 4th be with you Robbie, whats your lightsaber color?

Marlins are paying most of his salary so Padres won this trade. That gives Preller enough space to get more pitching if needed. I'm most sad about losing Head but it's obvious Preller still wants to WIN.. unlike some orgs

AA is a pitchers league. Maybe Marsee will step up but it’s normal to struggle in first taste at AA

Woo-Suk Go omg what a name LMFAO

Good Morning brother

Marlins attendance from 31 to 26

as a padres fan me like luis he good

The Padres adding to their SPs seems like too much. After adding Cease those top 4, including King, are ridiculous. If they can’t get it done then there probably isn’t a 5th SP that moves the needle IMO.

Marlins won any hitter that gets traded to san Diego ends up falling off a cliff

why are you talking about THE RAYS?

I Want PADRES resign Luis Arraez to 10 years Deal Extension With PADRES Resign Dylan Cease to 10 Years Deal Extension with PADRES

What does this Trade mean for Xander are they doing a Fire Sell ?

Not a bad trade but I think they should have extended him

The game 2 pick did not age well

don't bat him leadoff. he has no speed to steal a base plus is a contact hitter. he needs to hit lower in the order to knock guys in who are already on base. batting leadoff just puts him on 1st... & in position to be forced out

The Marlins having a fire sale happens like every 5 years.

This trade is wild, I love Arraez, he will be missed on the marlins but at least they got 3 great prospects in return, Peter bendix building his team now

Hahahaha still ain't going to help stack up the SS...😂😂😂 go dodgers 💪

Padres lost bad, not really in a position to compete and arraez is okay at best (elite at contact but horrendous defense, baserunning, power, plate discipline).

Shouldn't of traded Soto.

Preller Fleecing! LFGSDP!
