The big news coming out of Padres camp today is that Juan Soto, who was supposed to travel to Miami today to join the Dominican Republic team in preparation for the World Baseball Classic, is still in Peoria to get treatment on his calf that has kept him out of Spring Training games since last Thursday. Should the Padres allow Soto to go play in the WBC if his calf isn’t fully ready to go? Plus, reaction to the Padres facing off against the Dodgers in Cactus League action this afternoon.

We had already seen Seth Lugo and Nick Martinez pitch multiple times in Cactus League games but hadn’t seen Blake Snell yet. That changed on Sunday afternoon, as he took the mound in Peoria to face the Oakland Athletics. Plus, there seems to be positive updates coming out of camp about Juan Soto’s calf after he’s missed the last couple of games. He’ll be heading to Miami to start preparing for the World Baseball Classic with Manny Machado, Nelson Cruz and Luis Garcia tomorrow. Kevin Acee also gave fans an update today on Joe Musgrove’s recovery after fracturing his toe last week.

The San Diego Padres were back on Bally Sports San Diego today so some fans got to see Fernando Tatis Jr. play for the first time in 2023. Plus, some of the big names in the 2023 bullpen made their first appearances this spring. We also learned Juan Soto won’t be playing for the Padres until he returns from the World Baseball Classic due to calf soreness. Should there be concern?

Another eventful day at Padres Camp in Peoria. The day started with the unfortunate news that Joe Musgrove will be sidelines for at least two weeks after breaking his toe while working out. Then Manny Machado spoke to the media after officially signing his 11-year extension. Finally, Fernando Tatis Jr. debuted in the Cactus League as the DH against the Giants. I react to all of that in the latest episode of Talking Friars!

It has been a pretty good 48 hours for the San Diego Padres. Manny Machado agreed to a huge extension that will keep him in San Diego for the rest of his career. The Padres offense then scored 18 runs later that day. Fernando Tatis Jr.’s return was officially announced for Tuesday. And finally there’s been some encouraging outings from the Padres pitching staff early on.

I give my thoughts on all of that in this episode of Talking Friars!
