Jed Hoyer faces big challenges, small payroll as Padres GM
Game plan for Hoyer: Shop Adrian Gonzalez. Keep him unless the offer is overwhelming. Keep Kouzmanoff. Make Headley a super utility man. Do not deal a veteran unless you firmly believe Kyle Blanks can hit for average as well as continued power. Spend what remains in the budget to acquire a veteran pitcher who would fit well in the rotation and someone who can provide mid-level power. Good pitching plus good defense plus speed plus occasional pop makes the Padres a complete team in Petco Park. -
Hey Padres! Do NOT deal Adrian!
At some point, Padres ownership — whether brand new or not — must realize that the message it continues to send to its fans is that it is cheap and unwilling to do what’s necessary to foot the bill for a contending product. -

The 619 sports article sums up my opinion pretty well. Maybe the smart thing to do is to trade Adrian. Maybe we have no choice. The team is strapped for cash, I get that. So am I. But they should understand that its getting harder and harder for fans to justify spending money while being told to “be patient”.

If they get offered a deal that puts them firmly on the road to being a championship club. Should they say no and keep Adrian, because it is better PR.

I don't think this is the issue....
Most agree if you get that type of offer then you should do it. The problem arises with that type of offer not actually existing….
Just trading him for prospects simply because he’s going to be expensive soon and his value’s high now is what I am afraid of. I worry that they will decide that he must be moved and just take the best of what they can get.

Kind of like a party at the cemetery
Instead of going trick or treating in suburbia
