The team has one more game tomorrow, as the prep for the one-game championship. Expect to see Josh Naylor and Luis Urias in the lineup on Saturday.
As one league ends, another begins, The Australian Baseball League is just about to begin. The Padres will have four players participating in the league. Buddy Reed, Gabriel Arias, Lake Bachar, and Felipe Blanco will all play in the league. We will keep you up to date on that foursome.
There is still plenty of action in the Caribbean, as Franchy Cordero is getting plenty of at bats.
