Sounds like a good deal,
Now, along with the physical, he should be forced to admit, on camera, that Holliday never touched the plate.

true
but everyone has to admit that game 163 was already lost at that point, regardless of the missed call. That last half-inning was just awful.

Who was the starter/losing pitcher for SD? Peavy.
Who blew the save? Trevor.

Even so
Brady Clark would not get any money in the Pop Fly Payoff.

Great deal
especially if his arm comes back

What will his role be?
Will him and Nick be interchangeable or will Nick start the majority of the games with Yorvit getting spot duty?

Almost
not counting the part where he asked the Mets to beat that offer and they apparently said no.

Yes, but...
Jedi had already pre-planted the thought in mind for Torrealba to hold out for the Mets—a team obviously not interested in doing anything productive this offseason…
The force is strong with this one.
Oh come on...
they spent $70 million on a somewhat above average OF.

I misjudged his power
He mind-tricked the Mets into not making a counter offer!

On an above average hitter but a below average OF.

Can we call him YorTor?
I don’t know if he’s any good but at least he played for other major league teams. That’s more than you can say for our other backup catchers.

I'm cool with any catcher that doesn't have
a mullet and tribal tats.
Oh internet, what a wicked web you weave.
haha
then I go to find a funny picture of Blanco and come to this…
And noticed that it came from Gaslampball.
This site slays me.

Rox fan here..
I live here in San Diego, and love the Rox. I just want to say that you all really got a steal in Torrey. If he keeps it going as he did the 2nd half of the season….and works well with your pitchers….welp, this makes me a little nervous.
Really bummed that we lost him!
Enjoy the wild ride!
