Remember how I said we were anxious for big baseball news to drop? Careful what you wish for! On today's edition of the Locked On Padres podcast, Javier reacts to the announcement that superstar shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has a fractured left wrist and is expected to be out for a few months. He discusses Tatis' perceived recklessness riding motorcycles, who the Padres have as potential replacements (Jake Cronenworth, Ha-Seong Kim, CJ Abrams?), and how this affects the team's strategy for free agency. And speaking of free agency, he gives some quick thoughts on Nelson Cruz, Matt Olson, Jesse Winker, Josh Donaldson, and being cautious with reading into the rumor mill.
