After trading away Luis Urias early this offseason, San Diego Padres GM A.J. Preller immediately made a trade for Jurickson Profar to help fill the void at second base.
At the time, I thought the move was a knee-jerk reaction from Preller and it didn’t make much sense. Now that we’re a month away from the season, it makes even less sense and it sounds like the experiment could be over before it begins.
Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune said in a recent interview on The Darren Smith Show that there is a chance Profar’s defensive struggles could lead to the Padres cutting him before the season starts.
