I’m very surprised. Unless the Padres felt they needed a new clubhouse leader following their massively disappointing 2023, this really alludes to them cost cutting. If that’s the case I’m talking both Kim and Soto. Either would be very welcome here. fired without being fired Reports were saying that Melvin and Preller were not on the best of terms with each other.

Good for him, but bummer for the Cubs , they lost a good one. It will be interesting to see if there will be any trade interaction between the Cubs and RSox now this winter.

Giants hire Melvin. Padres now need new manager I’m very surprised. Unless the Padres felt they needed a new clubhouse leader following their massively disappointing 2023, this really alludes to them cost cutting. If that’s the case I’m talking both Kim and Soto. Either would be very welcome here. They now don't have to fire him so a win-win for them. I can't see a total reset happening with the giant deals they signed recently but allowing Snell to walk & moving Soto is a real possibility to free up some serious cash.

Padres took out a 50 million dollar loan to cover payroll in September.
Mets have interviewed Cubs Beach Coach Andy Green and Yankees Bench Coach Carlos Mendoza for their Mangerial opening. Have also interviewed Counsell.
Houston is interested in Craig Counsell along with Brad Ausmus and Joe Espada for manager.

Don't want to see Counsell going to Houston , can't imagine how good they'd be with a good manager.

Oh crap... its the offseason again 🥺 LOL. Should be a fun offseason for the Cubs though. Bellinger, Soto, Alonzo, Solar, etc. Pitching, pitching, pitching. Canario, Mervis, others. 4 monthsish until pitchers and catchers report

Brewers decline Chafin's 7.25 million option making him a free agent again.
Should Jed bring the sheriff back ?
He didn't have a great season so I'm not sure if I want him back this time , it would depend on the cost.

He didn't have a great season so I'm not sure if I want him back this time , it would depend on the cost. Not sure there's an opening or room with lefties Hughes, Smyly maybe, and Little on the 40. Iowa also has lefties as backups.

Iowa also has lefties as backups. I imagine if they do sign or trade for another starter then Smyly is likely traded if they can find a taker. He's a decent rotation go to option plug in to have around if somebody gets hurt , but I don't think they want to pay him 8.5 million to pitch out of the pen. Hughes , can't count on him for anything until he proves he can stay off the IL . Little has a chance to be the main man late inning lefty though.
