A.J. Preller on player value

While perusing a piece in the San Diego Union-Tribune about the San Diego Padres being more likely to deal prospects this offseason, this quote from A.J. Preller jumped out at me:

“It comes down to value,” Preller said. “We have specific value on each one of our players and a value on the guys we have a chance to trade for. If those line up, we’re going to look to make moves.”

And in reading that quote, it struck me that that best summarizes how modern front offices are operating. What Preller is describing isn’t a process that is unique to the Padres — it is how most teams are doing business.
