The San Diego Padres beat the Atlanta Braves, 7-4, to cap off a spectacular Opening Day.

According to president of baseball operations AJ Preller, the roster may look a little different come next week, at least in the minors. Preller revealed that there is an outfielder the Friars want to try to trade after designating him for assignment.

The Opening Day roster also looked a little different as it didn't feature five Padres who are on the injured list. The team will be without some talented pieces for a little longer, but their respective returns will shake up the active list in San Diego.

Finally, a major reason of what made Opening Day so special regardless of who was in the dugout are the fans. Friar Faithful set a record Thursday afternoon for all-time Petco Park Opening Day attendance.
