The San Diego Padres are working on paring down their roster to fit the MLB-mandated 26-man squad. Another round of cuts were made earlier this week.

Additionally, a newly-acquired member of the Friars was part of a scary moment this week in a Cactus League game that resulted in taking a 108.8 mph line drive off of his face. The infielder was having a pretty solid spring training after inking a minor league deal this offseason.

And finally, ater the New York Yankees lost their ace for the entirety of 2025 in the form of Gerrit Cole undergoing Tommy John surgery, a trade proposal is seen that may end with the Padres enjoying a considerable haul of talent.
