If you would certainly've told me on Opening Day that the San Diego Padres would have an identical record with the Washington Nationals on August 27, I would certainly have chuckled. I'm not chuckling now though because that's the reality. It's the latest reduced point in an unpleasant Padres season. Washington notoriously traded their superstar Juan Soto before last year's trade target date in what was another signal that they were in complete reconstruct setting. Anthony Rendon, Max Scherzer and Trea Turner were currently off the lineup before Soto was dealt. So in various other words, Washington was not expected to contend this year and they're not. However, they're currently a better team than what was anticipated from them in 2023. MLB. com rated the Nationals (61-70) as the worst group in the National League and the second-worst team in all of baseball on January 1, projecting them to win 55 games. The Padres (61-70) were ranked 4th in MLB and predicted to win 89 games. In instance you were wondering, San Diego would certainly need to go 28-3 to reach that win total this period. Yeah, sorry to break it to anybody however that's not happening. Washington's pay-roll is 24th in baseball. San Diego's is third. And yet they have the same records. We've reached provide debt to the Nationals for the progress that they've made *****. Supervisor Dave Martinez and basic supervisor Mike Rizzo are obtaining extensions for a reason. Lane Thomas has an OPS north of. 800. C. J. Abrams is discovering more power (14 HUMAN RESOURCES). And it appears like Josiah Gray and MacKenzie Gore will be in their rotation for many years to come. But it's clear that these two groups having the exact same document in late August tells us even more about exactly how poor the Padres have been than exactly how excellent Washington has been. After all, Washington's anticipated win-loss record is 57-74. I understand 3 or four players don't comprise the whole group yet these guys below were expected to be a large reason why the Padres were going to go deep into the postseason *****. Right here are the averages and OPS of the huge four in comparison to exactly how they performed last season (and in Tatis' situation 2021). The red implies the numbers have dropped and the eco-friendly ways they've gone up. So three of the huge four, who are transforming $48,000,000 combined this season, have regressed. Then include that to the truth they were the worst group with runners in racking up setting previously this season and get on speed to be the worst one-run group in baseball given that 1935 and it makes good sense why the Padres are going to be resting on their sofa come October 2. On to a practically worthless collection versus the St. Louis Cardinals (another group that has actually underperformed this season).
