SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres will make every effort to add help by the trade deadline, if they must.
For now, however, the $246 million roster that was put together in the offseason will have to suffice.
“We have a team that we like a lot,” Padres President of Baseball Operations A.J. Preller said Friday afternoon. “We have high expectations. We feel like we have a lot of talent, some really good ballplayers that are going to work every day to make sure we’re in a spot to win a game and keep getting better. … I think everybody understands where we’re at, and we’re gonna get this turned around.”
