The Padres add the next wave of talent in this three-round mock draft.

While the coronavirus pandemic has shortened the upcoming MLB Draft to just five rounds, the Padres will be adding the next handful of prospects to an already fruitful farm system. With young stars in Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado, MacKenzie Gore and CJ Abrams figure to be joining the big league roster within the next couple of years.

The Padres are about to enter into a sizeable window of contention, so while limited, it will be important that General Manager AJ Preller hit on every pick.
