The Ben & Woods Show has been out at San Diego Padres Spring Training this week, interviewing various players and manager Jayce Tingler. Today, it was General Manager AJ Preller’s turn, and he was asked about several of the prospects that are close to seeing the big leagues, the status of Tommy Pham, and Fernando Tatis Jr.‘s long-term future here.
Regarding that last item, it’s a fair question as several teams have been locking down their young talent. Most notably, the Chicago White Sox, who have signed both Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert to long-term deals before they ever took a Major League at-bat.
