Padres / White Sox

[Padres GM (Brian)]

Padres Trade:
OF Owen Caissie (Cubs) $0.3 1st - www.fangraphs.com/players/owen-caissie/sa3014465/stats?position=OF
SP Peyton Pallette (White Sox) $0.3 1st - www.fangraphs.com/players/peyton-pallette/sa3020742/stats?position=P
SP Noah Syndergaard (FA) $9.5 2024
LF Michael Conforto (Giants) $9.0 2024
RP Matthew Boyd (FA) $3.2 2024
RP Drew Pomeranz (FA) $1.8 2024

White Sox Trade:
3B Manny Machado (Padres) $13.9 2026
RP Colin Poche (Rays) $6.6 6th - www.fangraphs.com/players/colin-poche/19403/stats?position=P

Cap Change:
Padres:  - $3.6
White Sox:  + $3.6

Padres Accept:  Manny Machado, when healthy, is a top 5 third baseman and I would lock him up for 3 years.  This risk here is he may not be ready for opening day or won't be that top 5 third baseman after surgery.  Poche had a breakout 2023 with 12 wins.  Off loading Syndergaard makes the FA signing of Snell a cap neutral move.  Ultimately I'm upgrading 2 positions to top 5 talent by giving up Caisse/Pailette.

White Sox accept

So moving the 2 best pieces of today for some future players and/or cap space.  I fully expect Machado to return to full form and be dominant once again.  I'm hoping atleast one of the folks I am getting back will be decent enough I can flip for more players.  But I dont have my hopes up.  Im bascially trading for Caissie and Pallette, anything extra after that is just gravy.  

Thanks Brian

Could we please have the spelling of "Pallette" corrected in original post? Thanks.

[Padres GM (Brian)]

Spelling updated...didn't know if I was supposed to edit the original or not.

Approve (3-0)

I'm under the impression editing is cool, especially if you somehow note the change and you can enter something in the "reason for editing" field of the post.

Editing posts is only explicitly banned on FA bids, although editing protect/unprotect posts (unless immediately after they have been made) would also be strongly frowned upon.
Editing trade posts before the 3rd approval to correct inaccuracies is good - and in many cases necessary to ensure accuracy.
