Padres receive: 2B,SS,3B Ha-Seong Kim (Padres) $4.0 4th LF,CF Brandon Marsh (Phillies) $2.0 4th Rangers receive: CF Luis Robert (White Sox) $6.7 5th DH Marcell Ozuna (Braves) $6.3 2025 Caps: Padres -$7.0 / $77.3 Rangers +$7.0 / $92.7 Kim acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/7073/royals-rangersMarsh acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/7057/tx-cle-blockbusterRobert acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/7210/padres-marlinsOzuna acquired: mlbbaseballleague.proboards.com/thread/7443/padresKim and Marsh dropped on Fantrax I went into the offseason hoping to find a CF upgrade, and if his injury troubles of the past are behind him I think Robert should be it. Kim has been one of my most asked-after pieces this offseason - he was even a discussion topic with the last Padres owner. I will miss both his production and versatility - having the flexibility of the 6th 2B, 9th SS and 5th 3B on the 2023 PR all rolled into one makes lineup construction a real joy. Marsh got his average up last season and finally looked a bit more like what we expected when he was a top prospect, and is projected for a 3rd-straight double digit homer and steal season next year. I genuinely had no idea Ozuna hit 40 bombs with 100 RBI last year. He's not my usual sort of pickup but if he can stay healthy, a floor of 30/90 the first piece of that ATL offensive juggernaut that I've managed to lay my hands on should be worth the salary and the positional inflexibility. I hope that giving up the extra years of control, positional flexibility and lower salaries will be outweighed by enjoying greater power production. Thanks Brian, hopefully the first of many!

Padres accept:
This move may hurt me in 2024, especially if Robert and Ozuna both put up the same numbers in 2024 that they did in 2023. I ultimately made the decision to move on from Robert to make sure I had the cap flexibility to retain all of the players I have acquired this offseason. I trade a top 5 CF for a top 5 2B and I plug the CF hole with a top 30 player. Ozuna as only a DH didn't give me any wiggle room and I can plug the newly acquired Cronenworth in the DH spot. Thank you Stephen for the productive back and forth!
Robert and Ozuna dropped.
