At this time last year, an outfielder seemed like the last thing on the Padres organizational shopping list.
When the team broke camp in 2018, you might have even gone so far as to say that the Padres had a glut on the grass. Wil Myers was still withholding a possible 30/30 season with his rare blend of power and speed. Sluggers Hunter Renfroe and Franmil Reyes promised to hit 150 home runs in the outfield corners, while Manuel Margot would track down everything in center field while slashing a respectable batting line.
