The San Diego Padres are making some intriguing moves as we dive deeper into spring training. With Ethan Salas and Leo De Vries being reassigned to minor league camp, it raises some interesting questions about the future of the team and the development of its young talent.

What do you think this means for the Padres' strategy moving forward? Are they prioritizing immediate performance over long-term development, or is this simply a part of the natural progression for young players?

Additionally, with the recent signing of Jose Iglesias, how do you see the competition for bench spots shaping up? Will this addition bolster the team's depth, or could it potentially stifle the growth of younger players who are vying for a spot?

And let's not forget about Jake Cronenworth. With whispers of him showcasing his defensive prowess this season, could he be the unsung hero that the Padres need to make a serious playoff push?

I want to hear your bold predictions for the Padres this season. Will they break through the postseason barrier, or are we in for another year of rebuilding? Share your thoughts, experiences, and insights!
