Five Padres who could be sent down as rosters get trimmed to 26 players

Major League Baseball agreed to allow all teams carry 28 players on their roster through May 1 to begin the 2022 season. Therefore, the San Diego Padres roster will have to be cut down by two players by the beginning of their game against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.

There is a maximum of 14 pitchers allowed on all rosters, which was agreed upon this week by MLB and the Players Association. So let’s play some GM and go through some of the names A.J. Preller and the front office will be going through over the course of the next couple days to determine who will be staying on the major league roster and who will be sent down to the minors.
