Good Morning San Diego: A.J. Preller may need to dig deeper into the farm system to acquire talent this offseason

For a time, it seemed like the only news this offseason concerning the San Diego Padres was bad news. That changed this week. Other than a couple players being signed to minor league contracts with invites to Spring Training, there has been no news about the Padres.

With so many things in flux in San Diego, this offseason may continue to be forgettable for the Friar Faithful. If financial constraints keep the Padres from being players in the free agent market, perhaps they can make a splashy trade that lands a piece for the major league club.

Cheri Bell of Gaslamp Ball looked at what San Diego might have to offer if A.J. Preller looks to acquire talent via trade.

Baseball News:

It’s not just Padres news that has been scarce, baseball news in general seems to have come to a grinding halt. However, ESPN’s Jeff Passan delivered surprising news Sunday with the announcement of a trade between the Texas Rangers and New York Mets. Just looking at the names involved, it appears the Mets just got a whole lot better and are trying to guarantee themselves a playoff berth in 2026.
