It may seem odd to see a hot stove season in March, but we are starting to see the trade market heat up as teams begin their spring training camps. Already teams are making moves, and the Padres could be looking to trade a few players as they look to avoid the new $230 million competitive balance tax.
According to MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand, the Padres are aggressively shopping both first baseman Eric Hosmer and outfielder Wil Myers.
While a Hosmer reunion in Kansas City may be fun for nostalgia’s sake, with Carlos Santana already on the roster, and Nick Pratto and Vinnie Pasquantino waiting in the wings, it doesn’t make much sense to bring back the former Royals All-Star.
