Rarely does anyone get the chance at a “do-over” in life. A.J. Preller can be thankful that opportunity has presented itself to him.
Last year, the Padres’ president of baseball operations bet big on a flawed roster at the deadline. Preller wound up consummating five trades that involved a total of 22 players. One of those deals looked like a mistake from the minute it was executed and has only looked worse since. Now he has the chance to reverse it.
