Padres general manager A.J. Preller did what he always does: surrender top prospects for a better chance to win this year.
On his first day as a member of the San Diego Padres, with half an hour to the trade deadline and the clubhouse televisions tuned into MLB Network, Jason Adam unpacked his Tampa Bay Rays equipment bag. It was a beautiful day in San Diego, of course. Instead of playing in a dreary and mostly empty dome in Florida, Adam got to play here Tuesday, before what would turn out to be the largest crowd in Petco Park history. And, yes, he knew the Dodgers were in town.
The Dodgers’ final home games this season are against the Padres, and Scott could see a lot of Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. “I was a Dodger fan,” Estrada said. “I always saw how many lefties were brought in whenever Andre Ethier was coming up to the plate.” And, in October, no team needs five starters, meaning the Padres’ bullpen plus a couple of surplus starters could cover most of the innings in a postseason series.
