Mat Latos to the Reds is a ridiculously stupid deal.
After establishing himself as a solid pitcher in San Diego, Mat Latos is now being shipped off to the Midwest in a trade that the Cincinnati Reds will regret regardless if Latos pans out. I watched 1B/LF Yonder Alonso and C Yasmani Grandal play together in college, and they are both weapons with serious MLB potential. Not to mention that now solid prospect Brad Boxberger and star...
Mat Latos Became a Red and The Tri-Tip Was Cold
The other day I finally ponied-up for a Baseball Prospectus subscription. I'd been meaning to do it for sometime and now that it's the only place to read Ducksnorts it has become even more imperative.It was Kevin Goldstein's publication of his top eleven Padres Prospects however, that forced my hand. Goldstein's overall evaluation was that the Padres have accrued...
Mets Interested In Catcher Luis Martinez
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets are interested in catcher Luis Martinez, who was designated for assignment by the Padres this past weekend.
The 26-year-old right-handed hitting backstop batted .203/.309/.305 with one home run and 10 RBI over 68 plate appearances in his rookie season with the Padres.
With Triple-A Tucson this season, Martinez batted .313 with...
What Exactly Are the Padres Doing?
After yesterday's trade of Mat Latos to the Reds, the general consensus among fans what that the Padres got a hell of a haul of prospects from Cincinnati. The highlights of the deal are Yonder Alonso and Yasmani Grandal, a pair of Cubans who look ready for the majors after brief spells in the minor leagues. But here's the problem with both of them: there doesn't appear...

Padres Interested In Matt Garza
The Padres have some interest in acquiring Matt Garza from the Cubs in a package that would include Anthony Rizzo, tweets Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio. Based on reports yesterday, it seems both clubs may be interested in working out a trade involving Rizzo.
With Mat Latos now a Cincinnati Red, the Padres' interest in Garza makes some sense, particularly since...
Daily Friar 12.18.11
Of course the first day that I write this post the night before and not the morning of there has to be a HUGE trade. Yeah Byrnes made a trade by dealing away Aaron Cunningham yesterday, but that is all but forgotten after today. In case you haven't heard Mat Latos is no longer a Padre. Here are links on the trade and others (but mostly the trade):

Depth accelerating Friars' return to contention
This weekend's 4-for-1 Padres trade with Cincinnati may be the final major part of the "build a wave" developmental philosophy that former San Diego executives Jed Hoyer and Jason McLeod tried to institute.
Padres apparently banking on Latos not becoming an ace
Mat Latos is a pitching prodigy in need of personal growth, alternately exciting and exasperating, sometimes unhittable, sometimes uncoachable.
