Padres Plan To Reduce Payroll To Around $200MM; Front Office Changes Possible

An Opening Day payroll of just under $249MM and some aggressive acquisitions of star players meant that the Padres were fully expecting a championship in 2023, but San Diego has instead posted only a 77-79 record, and the season’s final week begins with the Padres still in mathematical contention for a wild card slot by…

Xander Bogaerts Busts Out With Four Hits In Win

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old snapped a 21-game homerless drought (one RBI during this skid) with a towering second-inning two run shot. Bogaerts then doubled during the seventh frame before hitting an RBI single in the ninth to put an exclamation point on perhaps his strongest display with the Padres yet. It was also Bogaerts' first four-hit effort of the season. But the power numbers simply haven't been there overall for the five-time Silver Slugger, who's slashing .271/.344/.403 with 12 long balls, 40 RBI, and 13 stolen bases in 420 at-bats.

Jackson Merrill Could Be Nearing A Promotion To Double-A

San Diego Padres shortstop prospect Jackson Merrill has handled himself well this year at High-A Fort Wayne and could be nearing a promotion to Double-A if he keeps it up. He's currently slashing .280/.318/.444 with 10 home runs, 12 doubles, two triples, 33 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 50 runs scored in 300 plate appearances over 68 games played. Merrill has been much better in 16 contests since June 18, too, going 23-for-68 (.338) with four long balls, a double, six RBI, two stolen bases and 14 runs scored. The 20-year-old, who is the team's No. 1 prospect per MLB Pipeline, had an impressive showing in spring training as well, but the Padres are in no rush to move him up to the big leagues, especially with Xander Bogaerts currently locked in at the 6. The tall left-handed hitter uses all fields and should continue to develop more power as he matures.

Xander Bogaerts Receives Cortisone Shot Heading Into Break

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts received a planned cortisone shot in his left wrist after Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Bogaerts missed a few games in early June with a wrist injury and this appears to be the last step in his recovery process, even though he has managed to play through it for the most part. Bogaerts told reporters that he doesn't anticipate needing another shot and that he is looking forward to a nice second half. Fantasy managers would also be in favor of that, as the 30-year-old has struggled since a scorching hot April, posting a .224/.307/.332 slash line with just four homers since May 1.

Xander Bogaerts Seeing The Ball Well Lately

San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts has five hits (two home runs) in six at-bats in his last two games, and he's also hitting .310 (13-for-42) with three home runs, two doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in his last 11 games dating back to June 23. The 30-year-old already has more long balls (two) in four games in July than he did in all of June, so fantasy managers are certainly hoping he can keep this up for the rest of July after next week's All-Star break. In his first year in San Diego, Bogaerts is hitting .263 (79-for-300) overall with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, 34 RBI, nine stolen bases and 44 runs scored in 342 plate appearances over 80 games. The four-time All-Star remains a must-start at a premium fantasy position.
