The Athletic’s Dennis Lin put out another mailbag this week with some interesting tidbits. He says the San Diego Padres viewed losing Christian Vazquez was one of the bigger disappointments of the offseason. What could’ve that meant for Luis Campusano? Plus, some team officials have acknowledged that bringing back Juan Soto long term may be difficult. What does this mean for the Padres over the course of the next couple seasons? Should they trade him if it’s clear he isn’t going to sign an extension? All this and more discussed on the latest episode of Talking Friars!

Bob Nightengale came out with a report earlier this month that the San Diego Padres plan to be “all in” on Shohei Ohtani next offseason but he was the only one to report that at the time. But another writer—Dennis Lin, who knows the Padres better than Nightengale—reported yesterday that the Padres will definitely be in on the Los Angeles Angels superstar.

Thus, it definitely seems like Ohtani is going to be discussed inside the Padres front offices. But what level of interest will San Diego have in Ohtani in terms of money? The franchise does intend to keep Manny Machado beyond 2023 and you’d think they’re going to make an effort to either extend Juan Soto or bring him back when he’s a free agent as well.

Plus, a move in MLB was made this week that lowers the chances of Ha-Seong Kim being dealt. And last but not least, would it be smart for the Padres to use a six-man rotation? All this and more on this episode of Talking Friars!

The San Diego Padres let Mike Clevinger walk this offseason after a poor postseason performance but they are now linked back to him, as The Athletic is reporting that he is being investigated by Major League Baseball following domestic violence allegations.

You could argue that the San Diego Padres could be a stronger team if they added a couple more pieces to the roster before Spring Training but do they actually need to in order for them to be a postseason caliber team?

It seemed like former San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar was set to receive a four or five-year contract before the offseason started but he is still sitting unsigned. General manager A.J. Preller has only made some minor depth signings in the outfield so is there room for a bigger move to bring back a fan favorite? Plus, a Boston Red Sox beat writer is projecting that Ha-Seong Kim will be their starting shortstop. Is a trade that likely?

An interesting report came out over the weekend by Bob Nightengale saying that the Los Angeles Dodgers’ stiffest competition for Shohei Ohtani will be the San Diego Padres, “who also plan to be all in” on the two-time All-Star. Should we actually believe this?

AJ Preller wanted to bring in Nelson Cruz before last season but saw him head to the Washington Nationals. Well he got his wish this time around, as the 42-year-old is coming to San Diego for $1 million. What will his role be and what does this signing mean for what’s next for the Padres?

The San Diego Padres could be set in their starting rotation but there’s still room to improve if the opportunity presents itself. Johnny Cueto just signed with the Miami Marlins, which leaves Michael Wacha as arguably the best remaining free agent starter on the market. In other words, there aren’t any great starters left. But what about the trade market?
