Eric Hosmer, Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan could be heading to New York for Dominic Smith
Two sources said a trade with the Mets, some of the details of which wereOne source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the Mets were essentially deciding whether to accept the terms. However, another cautioned there are “a lot of moving parts” and the deal is not assured.
That resolution cost them a promising young starting pitcher, one of their top relievers, a clubhouse leader and, reportedly, $25 million. Smith told reporters this spring that in addition to the previously reported groin and wrist injuries, he played through a partially torn right labrum. Smith played in 145 games but said he did not fare as well adjusting to a two-handed follow-through on his swing. The Padres’ Fernando Tatis Jr. played almost the entire ’21 season with a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, changing his follow-through similarly and leading the National League with 42 home runs.
Paddack has been inconsistent over the past two seasons, posting a 4.95 ERA and 1.25 WHIP and 157 strikeouts in 167 1/3 innings. But he has had a strong spring and has just 60 major league starts. His rookie season in 2019 saw him post a 3.33 ERA and 0.98 WHIP while striking out 153 in 140 2/3 innings.The 30-year-old Pagàn, due $2.3 million in his second season of arbitration eligibility, was also plagued by inconsistency in 2021.
