One of the reasons why the World Baseball Classic is so special is because it presents matchups we wouldn’t get to see during the season including Yu Darvish facing Ha-Seong Kim. How did it turn out? Plus, the Padres have started sending players to their minor league camp and a couple injuries have happened over the last few days. All that and more on the latest episode of Talking Friars

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal wrote an in depth piece today detailing Aaron Judge’s free agent journey back to the New York Yankees. The San Diego Padres made a late run at the reigning American League MVP and made an offer “that blew everybody else out of the water”, according to Judge. Is it better that San Diego didn’t land Judge? Plus, Juan Soto is almost cleared to leave for the World Baseball Classic and Adam Engel is seeing his first back field game action this spring. All that and more on the latest episode of Talking Friars!

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?
