The San Diego Padres are facing a significant challenge as they gear up for the 2025 season. With Yu Darvish dealing with elbow inflammation, there’s a real possibility he might not be part of the rotation when the season kicks off. This raises some critical questions for Padres fans and baseball enthusiasts alike.

How do you think the absence of a veteran like Darvish will impact the Padres' chances this season? Can the team rely on younger pitchers like Kolek to step up in his place, or is this a recipe for disaster?

Moreover, the Padres have been seeking consistency with a sense of urgency. What strategies do you think they should implement to navigate this early-season uncertainty? Should they consider making a trade to bolster their rotation, or is it time to trust their existing roster?

Let’s not forget the broader implications of Darvish's potential absence. If he misses significant time, could this affect the Padres' playoff aspirations? What bold predictions can you make about how this situation will unfold?

Share your thoughts, experiences, and insights! How do you see the Padres adapting to this challenge, and what does it mean for their season ahead?
