Along with these Padres rumors, A. J. Preller is under the spotlight and fans are closing watching what decisions and moves the team will make.
The forty-year old Preller received a 3 year extension to remain the General Manager of Padres through 2022. The Padres remained in hot pursuit of Shohei Ohtani until he decided to sign with the Angels yesterday, and now, per USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, the Padres have an opportunity to land one of the biggest free agents this year.
That’s right! Come 2018, the Friars could have Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers playing together at the spectacular Petco Park.
