San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres are continuing a February to remember in terms of offseason moves.

San Diego has brought in a two-time World Series champion who reportedly has a 'strong chance' to make the Opening Day roster. Along with his veteran expertise, the former Gold Glove award winner and the American League's 2021 batting average champion should provide flexibility to the Padres infield.

In other Padres news, Joe Musgrove won't be able to pitch for the Friars in the regular season as he underwent Tommy John surgery this past October, but has ambitious goals for 2025: He wants to be back pitching for the Padres in the postseason.

And finally, Xander Bogaerts has high expectations as well for this season as he revealed an updated training routine this offseason. He looks to return to a familiar place in the infield in 2025.
