What does Kevin AC say about the Padres’ current rotation performance?

Ben Fadden 0:00
All right, apologies for the camera on the YouTube side of things. For some reason it's not connecting to my other camera, so just gonna have to go from the laptop here. But Kevin A C had an article out in the San Diego Union Tribune talking about the Padres and how they've been mostly pretty good. Just not in a few glaring spots. He gets to the rotation. And the adventure that the rotation has been on. A four four seven ERA, which is twentieth in major league baseball. I didn't think it was that bad. I I feel like the rotation's actually been pretty good this year. Um Padres though, no Nick Paveta, no Joe Musgrove. That's two thirds of what they expected to be the core of the rotation, obviously at the top.
Ben Fadden 0:39
You want it to be musgrove, you want it to be king, you want it to be Pavetta. And then you go from there. Instead It's Michael King and then from there, you know, you got Randy Vasquez, you got Griffin Canning, Walker Buhler, Lucas Giolito. Um both Pavetta and Musgrove. They're working toward a late summer return, but the Padres are also expected to be players at the trade deadline for the likes of Tarek Scuble, Sandy Alcantara, and Freddie Peralta. That is what Kevin said. in the U T today. School Bowl obviously is the headliner. That's the one that grabs your attention, right? And I was just kind of skimming through this article to be quite honest. Um I'm tired of reading about the offense. I understand that it's bad.
Ben Fadden 1:26
It makes me depressed when I have to keep reading about it. Like I I'd like the offense to turn it around. Um But there's some interesting stuff. uh interesting notes stats that I may not know that may grab my attention. So I like reading Kevin's stuff. Uh here. Sometimes he put stuff like this. Where it's like, Oh, okay. Expected to be players at the trade deadline for the likes of Tarek Scobel. Should I be surprised? Should we be surprised by this? I don't think we should be surprised. It's it's AJ Preller, it's the Padres. They're gonna be players for like every player, every big name player at the trade deadline, it seems like. They're gonna try. It doesn't. Kevin's not saying they're going to go get Tarek School.
Ben Fadden 2:12
We don't even know if Tarek School is going to get traded, right? The Tigers, they still probably want to try it. with Tarek School. Um For those that may want to say, Well, terrif schools hurt. Well The latest update, at least that I saw, is Scoobyl, this was an update from a couple days ago. He threw a live BP and AJ Hint said it was really encouraging. He's gonna throw to hitters again on Sunday. Scuba will throw at least one rehab start before returning from the I. L.

How likely are the Padres to become trade‑deadline sellers for Skubal, Alcántara, and Peralta?

Ben Fadden 2:41
Uh I would expect it to be multiple, but we know he's at least gonna do one. So This is someone that could return maybe earlier than what I think a lot of people expected. From his injury, so The Padres could see before, you know, dealing for him, let's say, or making their offer. See how he looks. Is he actually healthy? Um he had loose bodies removed from his elbow. So The time frame we thought was months and months and months. Beginning of May is when he underwent that surgery. And so it may not be months and months and months. It may just be a month and a half. It may just be You know, a couple of months instead of three. Um, would I want Tarek Scoobyl? Like of of course I would be excited if the Padres got Terrick Scooby.
Ben Fadden 3:36
Um if you look at Sandy Alcantara, Freddie Peralta, they've had some good outings, but then they've had some trash outings where they give up eight earn runs and Ten hits and three home runs in and out it. Well, that was one of Sandy's outings. A couple of home runs in Freddy's last outing. He went seven innings though, so I'm seeing six, seven innings from these guys. Sandy as well. Um seeing some six inning outings. So there's talent there, like we know. You know their name. If you're a baseball fan, you follow the game, you know both of those guys' names. I feel like the Padres have been linked to Sandy Alcantara for years and years and years now. The Marlins still have not traded him.
