The Padres just moved up the food chain with their trade with the Nationals which is still being finalized this afternoon.
Padres are in 4th place in the Nationals behind the Brewers, Braves, and Mets and the first-place Dodgers are looking to move up and improve their playoff chances and they hope to get Tatis back off of the IL soon as he is looking forward to taking live pitches as soon as possible. Once Fernando returns, the Padres line would look something like this:
• Fernando Tatis Jr., SS (Bats: R)
• Juan Soto, RF (Bats: L)
• Manny Machado, 3B (Bats: R)
• Josh Bell, 1B (Bats: B)
• Luke Voit, DH, (Bats: R)
• Jurickson Profar, LF (Bats: S)
• Jake Cronenworth, 2B (Bats: L)
• Austin Nola, C (Bats: R)
• Trent Grisham, CF (Bats: L)
