San Diego Padres News & Updates

As the Padres gear up for another season, roster decisions are taking center stage, with Logan Gillaspie making a compelling case for a long-relief role reminiscent of Craig Stammen. Meanwhile, Nick Pivetta’s delayed spring training raises durability concerns, putting pressure on a rotation that can’t afford any setbacks. In a frustrating turn of events, San Diego lost out on starter Zack Littell, who signed with the Nationals, highlighting the challenges of bolstering the pitching staff. Adding to the uncertainty, Bryan Hoeing is contemplating elbow surgery, which could further complicate the Padres' plans. On a less urgent note, the team officially outrighted Daison Acosta, opening a spot on the 40-man roster, but the questions loom large as spring training progresses and the clock ticks down to Opening Day.
