At the beginning of the season, the Padres 40-man roster included uber prospect Fernando Tatis Jr., superstar Manny Machado, and the well-regarded youngster Luis Urias. All three players were current or former shortstops.
Last night, in a 2-1 loss to the odious Diamondbacks, the shortstop position was handled by one...Greg Garcia.
It was as sure a sign as any that the 2019 season has not gone as expected for our beleaguered squad from San Diego.
Tatis Jr. has missed dozens of games with injury and is currently shut down until the offseason.
