Starting on Thursday, April 5, the consecutive three-time Pacific Coast League (PCL) division champions of the El Paso Chihuahuas will enter their fifth year of existence as the Triple-A affiliate for the San Diego Padres.
Despite losing much of their talent to the Padres, such as Manuel Margot, Carlos Asuaje and Hunter Renfroe, to name just a few, El Paso still has a lot to look forward to.
Coming into the 2018 season, the Padres were ranked to have the best farm system in all of professional baseball, according to MLB.com.
The Chihuahuas will return key players as El Paso’s manager Rod Barajas is entering his third season as the team’s manager.
