There are still multiple seasons remaining with many good players under contract, but Padres players lament that a collection of talent like they had in 2023 doesn't happen often
“We’re not getting younger,” Xander Bogaerts said.Bogaerts turns 31 on Sunday, the final day of a season in which there was too little celebration and plenty of impetus for reflection.And what is on his mind is that something precious slipped through the Padres’ grasp.Bogaerts and Manny Machado, the team’s highest-paid everyday players, are signed through 2033. That will be the age-40 season for both of them.
There will almost certainly be no such thing for the Padres in 2023, though they are officially still in postseason contention after the Marlins game Thursday night at the Mets was suspended with two outs in the top of the ninth. Had heavy rain not forced that game to be halted and had the Marlins held on to their 2-1 lead, the Padres would have been eliminated.
The focus in dissecting how it is the Padres spent almost all of 2023 below .500 has largely been on the ways the Padres have underperformed and failed to coalesce. Rightfully so. Because that facilitated the waste. Soto, who in 2019 won a World Series ring as a member of the Nationals, was asked recently if this was the best collection of talent he had been a part of.
Sure, they might. At least six of the team’s core position players, two starting pitchers and four higher-leverage relievers are virtually assured of returning. There is a cadre of proven talent in that group.
