Projecting the Padres’ 26-man roster

Pitchers and catchers officially report Wednesday to the Padres’ spring training complex in Peoria, Ariz. Throughout the week, the rest of spring training roster will begin to trickle in as the Cactus League opener Feb. 22 approaches.

Much will change — think injuries, trades and spring performances — before Opening Day on March 26.

For now, here’s our best guess-timate as to what the Padres’ 26-man roster will look like when the season begins:

Catchers (2)

  • Austin Hedges
  • Francisco Mejia

The lowdown: Barring a trade, the Padres will again enter the season with essentially two half-catchers.
