## Resource

Padres GM A.J. Preller’s aggressive trade strategy is back in the spotlight as the team weighs deals before the deadline, even if it means parting with top prospects. Despite a farm system ranked last, assets like Ethan Salas, plus young arms Kash Mayfield and Kruz Schoolcraft—both first-round picks—could fetch big returns. Mayfield’s flashes of brilliance mask inconsistency, while Schoolcraft’s rebound season shows promise. Preller’s history of trading drafted pitchers like Bateman and Snelling within a year or two signals a clear philosophy: present value over future potential. The debate rages on—how far will he go to fix the roster now? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
