  • The San Diego Padres want to compete in 2025. Of course, making a run at the National League West title will be a challenge given the presence of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who feature a true super-team.

The article from MSN discusses two key position battles to watch during the San Diego Padres' Spring Training. The first battle is for the shortstop position, where Xander Bogaerts, who has been the team's shortstop, might transition to second base to accommodate Ha-Seong Kim, who has shown exceptional defensive skills at shortstop. This move could optimize the team's infield defense. The second battle is in the outfield, where the Padres have several players vying for spots, including Fernando Tatis Jr., who is returning from suspension, and prospects like Jackson Merrill, who could potentially make the roster. The competition is intense with players like Jose Azocar, Cal Mitchell, and others also in the mix, making the outfield situation particularly fluid and competitive.
