Padres notes: In no-win situation with Urias at shortstop

PHOENIX —

It was not a move executed by a team truly interested in winning as many games as possible.

More than any other decision the Padres have made as their 2019 season slipped from relevance and became just another hopeful step in the construction of a contender, moving Luis Urias to shortstop was a sign.

Seven errors in 18 games later, including two in Monday’s 14-7 loss to the Diamondbacks, the experiment might be over because it has gotten that bad.

But it might not be over, because it was never about being good.
