After a colossally disappointing 2023 campaign, the San Diego Padres may no longer have the luxury of upgrading their roster in the offseason.

There may be a possibility that the San Diego Padres, after a disappointing 2023 season marred by underperformance, decide to cut costs and recoup some sort of prospect capital in the process.

The San Francisco Giants are in a weird spot. Their recent dismissal of Gabe Kapler suggests they have big ambitions, but the current roster does not really support that notion. Furthermore, retaining president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi after he failed to make the necessary moves to build a postseason-caliber roster just adds more confusion […]
