2025 Preview: San Diego Padres
Briefly

Following the passing of owner Peter Seidler, the San Diego Padres have adopted a quieter offseason approach, highlighted by the trade of Juan Soto to the Yankees. Although they reached the postseason and challenged the Dodgers, their lack of major moves during the winter raises questions about their status in a competitive division. Key players like Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Xander Bogaerts remain part of the lineup, with promising rookie Jackson Merrill standing out. The team’s shifting strategies and retention of talent suggest a mix of caution and hope for 2024.
San Diego Padres are quieter this offseason, losing superstar Juan Soto and remaining conservative after owner Peter Seidler's death while still contending in the postseason.
Despite a quieter offseason, the Padres still retain the star power of Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Xander Bogaerts as they strive for contention in a tough division.
