The Padres season ended on Thursday via a sweep in the NLDS. Turning our attention to next season, I don’t expect these three players to return.
While the Padres won’t have many players who will be unrestricted free agents when the World Series officially concludes, general manager AJ Preller will have to make a few difficult decisions on players who will return next year…and those who won’t.
