Padres' Tarik Skubal Rumors Raise Starting Rotation Possibilities

I see her wearing a San Diego Padres hat, and there is this, are they getting Tariq Skubal? Like, what's going on with this? Somebody posted, remember, did you see the thing I posted, I put in our group chat today? Martin Caswell. Yes. It had me confused. Friend of mine. And what was that about? It's like, oh yeah, hey, the Skubal to Padres press conference is happening, and it's like we're trying to scramble to find it. They said that the press conference got moved four times and yet the press conference still has not happened. So I think sometimes as a reporter, you get some information and one person tells another person and then things kind of spread. Now you're looking for. I'm not a fan of Tariq Skubal to the Padres. I just want that to be out there spoken because I think he's got an arm-shoulder issue that will come magically somehow out of nowhere once he signs for that absorbent amount of money. So I hope that that's something that the Padres can get two pitchers as opposed to just signing one pitcher because I think the Padres, they need multiple pitchers. If they still had Michael King on the book, They still, because they have Joe, so if they had Joe Musgrove, Michael King, Nick Pavetta already on the books, and you spent money to get Tariq Skubal, now we're talking, because that's a monster four-man rotation. I like that. But right now, on your books, you have an injured Joe Musgrove, who we only really saw pitch one inning in a playoff game, and if you sign Tariq Skubal, who a guy who I think's arm was going to fall off for about a year and a half. That's now two guys, and both of them are probably going to be hurt midway through the season next year, if there is a season next year. So I think it's great that the ownership is ready and willing and showing that they're ready to spend some money to improve the team, but let's be smart with it. Let's not do what the Mets owner did and just start throwing bags of cash at people whoever can catch. Mets are in on them, too. I mean, I feel like all these teams are going to try to get it done. I think that's what's going to get them. Okay. I mean, the Dodgers want to do a short-term high AAV deal like they try to do with everybody. It's not going to work. So, again, I think other teams are going to be really aggressive here before the December 1st CBA expires. Um, but. But in any case… Don't be shocked if the Giants sneak in there and steal them. Giants need to do something, man. I mean, with their front office and what they've tried to go get, they need to go do something to keep up with these guys in the NL West, even if it doesn't even get them up there near the Padres and Dodgers.
