Are the Padres Poised for a Mid-Season Power Play That Could Change Their Playoff Fate?
Roster:Â
The arms in the rotation should be reliable enough to make the Padres relevant once again. I like Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove, and King. This isn’t going to be one of the best rotations, but they also aren’t the worst. The problem is most likely going to be keeping them healthy. Musgrove has the stuff to be an Ace, and Pivetta was great last year. The bullpen is too messy to sort out at the moment, with the exception of the most important role, the closer. The team still employs Fernando Tatis, Manny Machado, and Xander Bogaerts, so they won’t be terrible on offense. But this team will need big seasons from Jake Cronenworth, Jackson Merrill, and other guys to propel them ahead of the Dodgers.Â
