His name is Mike Hawk. C'mon.

Can he play 1st base?

Not very well from what I remember, but he's learning!

The more I think about it getting Schwarber gives the team lots of flexibility in a pinch (OF, DH, 1B) and you gotta love the ability to hit them lefty HRs to upper deck RF.

I don't think we would like to take on Hosmer's contract. By the way, why the Padres fans seems dislike him very much with his ok performance ?

You get Schwarber you almost have to DFA or trade Cooper right?

Hosmer is due $20 million in '22, but his contract goes down to $13 per year from '23 through '25.

Lewin is not a sure shot to make it in MLB. Homer's glove and leadership might help. Not sure how much is left in the bat.

Campusano is only 23 and might benefit being a back up to Stallings for a couple of years.

Still, with Stallings on board, Lewins glove, and power potential, and more pressing needs in CF, I doubt we take this route.

Preferably trade. Definitely more value there. Maybe offer him to NYY and get something back the team values? Not sure, but it does leave things a bit cramped although I'd hate to see Cooper go (his bat and ability to also play RF helps team have options).

You can literally buy those. Don't put any stock into those.

It also depends on whether or not we non-tender Aguilar (and I think the Marlins will end up keeping him). Hard to see Schwarber, Aguilar and Cooper all on the roster. But yeah. Cooper has some value. I would imagine he would draw trade interest.

Non tendering Aguilar would be stupid at this point, tbh.

I trust Ng can extract the shekels needed for his services out of Sherman/Jeter.

Aguilar will be tendered, I have zero doubt.

I agree, and I should have added in the even they acquire a Schwarber or Hosmer type guy.

Apologies for any confusion.

It feels like they’re ready to move on from one of Aguilar / Cooper. Cooper is the better bat, but his injury concerns and the fact that Agi is a great clubhouse guy makes me lean toward it being Cooper.

Wonder what type of bullpen arm(s) they could get for Cooper?
