It has been a LONG offseason. Padres fans have seen Nick Martinez, Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo depart the pitching staff, Juan Soto and Trent Grisham get traded, the team chairman pass away and the manager leave for an NL West rival. Oh, and we’re just waiting for when Blake Snell and Josh Hader will go sign somewhere else too.
Meanwhile what has A.J. Preller done?
Not enough—if the season started today. Good news is that it doesn’t and moves can still happen during spring training, which is what it feels like is going to happen (and not just in Peoria but around almost all of Major League Baseball).
