The San Diego Padres are one of the youngest teams in all of major league baseball. And as this offseason approaches, it is very possible that they are about to get a lot younger.
The only player on San Diego’s roster thirty years of age or older who is signed through 2017 is infielder Brett Wallace. Fortunately though, the team has options to re-sign three veterans who will be willing to listen to general manager A.J. Preller’s offers.
It is debatable whether or not San Diego actually needs a veteran player, being a team whose primary goal is to set up for a bright future.
