Show Notes
The San Diego Padres starting rotation for the 2026 season is uncertain, with Michael King, Joe Musgrove, and Nick Pivetta as the top three pitchers. To bolster their rotation, a bold trade idea suggests swapping with the Seattle Mariners for ace right-hander George Kirby. In exchange, the Mariners would receive infielder Jake Cronenworth and two pitching prospects. Cronenworth, while versatile and once an All-Star, has seen a decline in production and defense since 2021-2022. Kirby, on the other hand, offers stability with a career 3.58 ERA and impressive strikeout rates. Although the trade seems unlikely, it could significantly improve the Padres rotation.
