The San Diego Padres got their first win of Spring Training on Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. There were some positive things to take away from the game, as Jose Azocar and David Dahl both made an impact. Seth Lugo was able to use all of his pitches in two innings of work and Bob Melvin revealed when Fernando Tatis Jr. is expected to make his 2023 Cactus League debut!

Xander Bogaerts was the huge splash by the San Diego Padres this offseason but there were still plenty of other moves made by President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller. Which were the best?

According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, Manny Machado and the San Diego Padres are $145 million apart in extension talks. Machado reportedly is “countering with a 10-year, $400 million extension that would begin in 2024”. Is Manny asking for too much? What is the right price for an extension to get done?

According to Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune, the deadline Manny Machado set for extension talks with the Padres has passed. San Diego reportedly made one offer to Machado before the deadline (February 16), which was to add an additional five years ($21 million AAV) on his current five years and $150 million left on his deal after this season. This doesn't seem like good news for Padres fans.

Manny Machado spoke to reporters this morning in Peoria and confirmed that he will be opting out of his contract at the end of the 2023 season. He’s declining to comment on if negotiations are ongoing with the organization so how should fans feel right now? Plus, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred told USA Today’s Bob Nightengale this week that the San Diego Padres are assured to lose money this season despite being expected to bring in more revenue than they have in any season in franchise history. Why would they lose money and should we believe Manfred?

Usually San Diego Padres fans are used to seeing players battle it out during Spring Training for starting spots but this team is so good that there aren’t any starting spots up for grabs (other than right field for the first 20 games because Fernando Tatis Jr. is suspended to start the year). Some then wouldn’t think there are interesting questions to be answered in camp but that’s not the case.

Is Luis Campusano going to make progress towards earning the starting catcher job? How will Tatis look during his first MLB action since 2021? Is Matt Carpenter going to get outfield playing time? Which depth starting pitchers will stand out from the rest? These are just some of the questions that will be answered during Spring Training.
