The last time I wrote a post that focused on the Padres, it was because they were in the midst of a historical run of games with grand slams, giving them the Slam Diego nickname this summer.
Now, it appears, they are making news for a different run, and that is their recent spate of trades and signings, all indicating one thing: the Padres are in it to win it.
San Diego was easily one of the most fun teams to watch last summer with star turns from Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr, but over the past three days they have outdone themselves.
