San Diego Padres

The San Diego Padres are not one of the reported teams involved in the Juan Soto sweepstakes, but that doesn't mean they aren't invested in where their former superstar outfielder will wind up.

It's been reported that Soto has contract offers from five teams — the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and, finally, the National League West rival Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers have already signed one former Padres superstar this offseason in Blake Snell. Could they sign another?

In other Padres news, the Friars lost a key free agent on Monday night as he signed a two-year deal with an American League squad.
