Even with plenty of talented free agents still available, it's hard to imagine anyone will unseat the Padres as very official Winners Of The Offseason. San Diego made the playoffs for the first time since 2006 last year, then pushed all their chips to the middle of the table by acquiring former Cy Young winner Blake Snell (via trade), veteran starter Yu Darvish (via trade) and star Korean infielder Ha-seong Kim (via free agency) seemingly in the span of hours last month.
On Monday the Padres reportedly made yet another move, netting Pirates starter Joe Musgrove in a three-team deal that sent young lefty Joey Lucchesi to the Mets and a several prospects to Pittsburgh.
