San Diego Padres gear up for a high-stakes spring training as competition for roster spots heats up and pitching depth faces its first major blow. Javier Reyes spotlights the biggest things to keep an eye on in Spring Training, including key battles at first base and DH with Nick Castellanos, Gavin Sheets, and José Miranda vying for critical roles, questions around Joe Musgrove’s recovery and Matt Waldron’s setback. Could surprise breakouts like Will Wagner or Sung-Mun Song shake up the opening day lineup?
Plus, some chatter about the back-end of the Padres starting rotation, with eyes turning to newcomers Walker Buehler, and German Marquez, plus some competition for bullpen starts with arms like Bradley Rodriguez and Alec Jacob attempting to make their mark. Reyes weighs in on which spring training storylines matter most, how Manny Machado’s slow start could be nothing to worry about, and whether San Diego’s revised roster has the tools for a playoff run. Go Padres.
