The San Diego Padres have made a couple of moves since Ben Fadden's second Opening Day roster projection in the middle of March. A.J. Preller and the organization has decided to reassign Julio Teheran, Tim Lopes and Pedro Severino to the minor leagues with Brandon Dixon being optioned. Who’s going to get these last spots that have to be filled since Joe Musgrove, Drew Pomeranz and Robert Suarez will be the season on the IL?

Opening Day is less than a week away so we're starting to hear about when each Padres starter will be making their season debuts. Joe Musgrove and Robert Suarez will be starting the season on the Injured List so when will they return and which players will get a chance to prove themselves on the big league roster? Also, there are updates on Juan Soto and Austin Nola. And last but not least, Ben Fadden gives his thoughts on the Aztecs heading to the Final Four and the Sab Diego Wave opening up their season with a win!

Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove weren't going to be available to start Opening Day so it seemed like Blake Snell was going to get the nod and the Padres officially made that true today. How could the rest of the rotation look the first time around? Fernando Tatis Jr. homered again today vs. the Angels and it looks like we have a better picture of who will be playing in his spot until he becomes eligible to return on April 20. Plus, Rougned Odor was playing a position today he's never played before. What should that tell us? All that and more on the latest episode of Talking Friars!

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!

It was a scary scene against the Chicago Cubs today, as San Diego Padres starting catcher Austin Nola was carted off the field after being hit by a fastball in the face. What's the latest update on Nola and what would the catching situation look like without Nola? Julio Teheran got the start in Mesa. Is he trending towards not making the roster? Plus, Nick Martinez spoke to the media for the first time since arriving back in Peoria from the World Baseball Classic. All that and more discussed on the latest episode of Talking Friars!

It's been a few days since the last episode came out so there's a lot to talk about. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto, Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts were in the Padres lineup Saturday together for the first time. Tatis got his first homer the night before. There's good news on Adrian Morejon's health. And is it surprising that every Padre is back from the World Baseball Classic except for Yu Darvish? All that and more discussed on the latest episode of Talking Friars!
