2026 : Around the League

Padres have a lot of regression coming unless their offense picks it up. Jackson Merrill will probably turn it around, but Machado might be cooked. Tatis' power numbers since getting popped have not been super impressive and this year they have been non-existent.

If things go south (and they probably will sooner rather than later), they really need to sell. Their farm is not good and most of their talent is in the lower levels. They could get a king's ransom for Miller and Jackson Merrill. King is a nice piece too. They might be able to eat some of Bogaerts money and get a decent haul of prospects since the SS market is barren.

If that happens, the sell probably won't come this year. The team is going through a sale to a new owner which hasn't been fully approved yet. They probably need to wait for the new regime to be in place first.
