San Diego Padres need a left field upgrade—but no panic move

“The Padres need to make a trade or sign someone.”

The Friar Faithful expressed their frustration, as it was a rough weekend for the San Diego Padres. They were swept at home for the second time in less than a month, and the team is struggling to score runs.
