Despite their long-term commitment to Fernando Tatis Jr., the San Diego Padres reportedly could be looking to add a star shortstop this offseason.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal named Xander Bogaerts as a player the Padres could target after he rejected a qualifying offer from the Boston Red Sox. He also added that San Diego general manager A.J. Preller "fancies" Los Angeles Dodgers free agent Trea Turner.
The Padres will likely have substantial competition for Turner, who is coming off a strong 2022 campaign. He slashed .298/.343/.466 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI and 27 stolen bases for a Dodgers team that finished with an MLB-best 111-51 record.
