Yu Darvish is supposed to start on Opening Day for the San Diego Padres but he told reporters today he isn't sure he'll be ready. Drew Pomeranz was making progress towards being healthy for the beginning of the season but he recently felt pain near his elbow? Is this one of A.J. Preller's worst contracts he's ever given out? Plus, it appears Padres fans can exhale a little bit regarding the health of Austin Nola. But what about Juan Soto? The Padres aren't sure yet. All that and more on the latest episode of Talking Friars!
