LOS ANGELES —
There are just a few position players virtually guaranteed to be on the Padres roster for a number of years.
Eric Hosmer, Manny Machado, Hunter Renfroe, Fernando Tatis Jr.
At least one of those players would like another name added to the list: Greg Garcia.
“Oh man, I’m pushing for that guy to stay here a long time,” Hosmer said. “He’s always ready when you call him. Call him in the seventh inning, call him in the third inning, you’re going to get the same at-bat. You’re getting the same attitude in the clubhouse every day.
