The San Diego Padres have made a couple of moves since my second Opening Day roster projection in the middle of March. A.J. Preller and the organization has decided to reassign Julio Teheran, Tim Lopes and Pedro Severino to the minor leagues with Brandon Dixon being optioned. Who’s going to get these last spots that have to be filled since Joe Musgrove, Drew Pomeranz and Robert Suarez will be starting the season on the IL?
Here’s my final Opening Day roster predictions. Do you agree with them? Feel free to do your own!
Catchers
Austin Nola, Luis Campusano
With Severino going down, Nola should be able to give it a go on Opening Day.
