SAN DIEGO — It’s interesting who did and didn’t put the “Wild Wild” in the NL West during free agency. The Padres made the big move. The Giants tried to make the big move … twice. The Dodgers nibbled around the edges.
This is not your father’s division. The Padres become the group’s free-wheeling big spenders? The bedrock Dodgers and Giants swing and miss?
The Dodgers signed the well-worn tires of J.D. Martinez and Noah Syndergaard, but little else. This offseason will be better known for the loss of multi-tooled talent Trea Turner to the Phillies.
