Sources: Free agent right-handed Garrett Richards has agreed to a two-year deal with the San Diego Padres. The guarantee is for around $15 million.

Decent deal if he can come back OK from his Tommy John surgery. The Padres have 0.5 good SPs right now so why not

Bryan Mitchell really looked like stinky poo poo last year.

Perfect spot for Machado...
I assume he got his money...
The weather is always perfect...
He’ll be able to play in complete relaxation...
And he’ll never have to run to 1st if he doesn’t want to...

Because no one will notice or care...

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

people on the giants sub are saying that theres radio reports the giants have increased whatever their offer was to bryce in response to this. im ok with this.

Congratulations fellas.

For what its worth, I love the signing. It's a risk that a franchise like the Padres needed to take.

I reckon this means Tatis Jr. better start taking grounders at third.

Padres are gonna be really good within a matter of years. They have one of the more loaded farm systems in recent memory. 3 top prospects that are MLB ready in Tatis, Urias, Mejia. All depends if the pitching develops fast enough to make an impact. Paddack looks pretty damn good and should be ready soon but as far as I know Gore, Morejon, Patino are years away.

A few exciting young OFers in Manny Margot (been bad but still has potential), Franchie Cordero, Franmil Reyes and Hunter Renfroe. Hosmer is a decent 1B. Machado. Lucchesi should be a good rotation arm. Some promising bullpen arms in Yates and Stammen.

Paddack and Allen are likely to be up this year. Lucchessi is solid but the rest of the rotation is a question mark. Maybe Richards can help next year. I'd love to trade for a true ace type though to really vaunt the team into contention this season.

Margot is pretty meh but his defense gives him a high floor at least, Franimal needs to DH as his defense is garbage, Renfroe is garbage, Cordero is intriguing but we'll see.

I think the main thing now is to try to acquire some pitching and see if we can offload Myers.

Word seems to be that Machado will play third, Urias short, and Kinsler second until Tatis comes up. Then it'll be Urias at second, Tatis at short, Machado at third. Not sure I'd rather have Machado at short but Padres have absolutely nothing at third besides Machado so that probably makes the most sense.
