The San Diego Padres have made a couple minor league signings, but there has not been any activity or reported contract discussions with any of the free agents, to include their own. While the offseason work in the front office has yet to be seen, but is surely taking place, Cheri Bell of Gaslamp Ball wrote the players in the various Winter leagues have been staying active, looking to improve and hoping for a chance to show their big league club they deserve to compete for a spot on the major league roster.
Finances are always a hot topic when it comes to the Padres and that is something no one in the front office will ever talk about publicly.
