A San Diego Padres player hasn’t won the NL Cy Young Award since Jake Peavy took home the trophy after the 2007 season.
It feels like that streak could be coming to an end over the next decade with all the young pitching talent the Padres have.
Chris Paddack and Dinelson Lamet were listed as dark horse candidates by MLB.com to win the NL Cy Young award in 2020.
I get Paddack’s inclusion on this list as he had a great start to his rookie season and looks primed to become a top of the rotation pitcher in 2020.
