The San Diego Padres are making some intriguing moves as they build depth for the 2025 season, and it raises a lot of questions about their strategy and future. With the recent signings and roster decisions, it seems like the Padres are trying to strike a balance between experience and youth.

Let's talk about the catching situation. With Brett Sullivan's status hanging in the balance and the competition between Luis Campusano, Elias Diaz, and Martin Maldonado heating up, who do you think should be the primary catcher? Is Diaz the right choice, or should the Padres take a chance on Campusano's potential?

The outfield and utility positions are also crowded. With the likes of Jose Iglesias, Jason Heyward, and Gavin Sheets all vying for spots, how do you see this competition playing out? Will the Padres prioritize experience over potential, or can we expect some surprises from the younger players like Tirso Ornelas and Eguy Rosario?

And what about the starting rotation? The loss of Joe Musgrove is a significant blow, but the additions of Nick Pivetta and Kyle Hart could be game-changers. Do you think Stephen Kolek has done enough to secure the fifth spot, or will the Padres look elsewhere?

As we approach the end of spring training, the decisions made in the coming days will be crucial. What bold predictions do you have for the Padres' final roster? Will they stick with their current depth strategy, or do you foresee some trades or unexpected cuts?

Let’s dive into these questions and more! What are your thoughts on the Padres' roster moves and their implications for the upcoming season?
