What’s wild is that IF Crone were to be traded (btw I said was a possibility & was shot down by @DavePalet & @jeffdotseth) old Padres would have given up our only relevant player for a bag of stale cracker jacks & a slapdick prospect. Now we’d still have Manny, Tati, Soto…

I’m not saying (1) it’ll happen (2) that Crone is our only current relevant player. I’m saying with our old franchise he WOULD have been our only guy and we would be trading him for $free99. We’ve come a long ass way.

@padresfangirl @DavePalet I see your point as far as Padres history has gone. This is an entirely new age though....we have never had an owner like this. He is our blessing. Sorry I think I got something in my eye. 😢
