In a year with a number of surprisingly disappointing teams, the San Diego Padres might be a close second to the New York Mets.
READ: COULD THE METS REALLY TRADE MAX SCHERZER?
After a flurry of trades during the 2022 season and a massive free agent deal to Xander Bogaerts, San Diego fans, quite reasonably, had expectations of the team’s first division title since 2006.
To say it hasn’t worked out well is a dramatic understatement.

Inter Miami made one huge splash this summer by luring Argentina forward Lionel Messi to Major League Soccer upon his departure from Paris-Saint Germain.
On Wednesday afternoon, the club found an appropriately big-name coach to pair with him.
Inter Miami is hiring longtime manager Gerardo “Tata” Martino as its next head coach, the club announced in a release.
Martino, 60, most recently served as Mexico’s manager from 2019-22. He led El Tri to the CONCACAF Gold Cup title in 2019.
The Lions moved on from Jamaal Williams and D’Andre Swift this offseason in favor of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Detroit’s new and improved running back duo is set to inherit a ton of responsibility in one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses.
Williams was the first shoe to drop. On the heels of his first 1,000-yard season, which saw him lead the league with 17 rushing touchdowns, he signed a three-year, $12-million deal with the Saints a day after free agency began.
A generational tight end prospect, a tailback with better blockers and a Super Bowl-winning QB are among those ready to redeem themselves.

The Brandr Group, a sports agency based out of Florida, has agreements to facilitate group licensing deals for 54 Division-I schools and their athletes.
Bulls center Nikola Vučević will stay in Chicago as the two parties are currently nearing a three-year, $60 million contract extension, the team announced on Wednesday.
Vučević was expected to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason if a deal was not met after his four-year contract, originally signed with the Magic, was coming to an end.

He is taking a slight pay cut with the new deal as his previous contract was four-years worth $100 million, making his annual salary $25 million a season.
Despite some confusion over the past year, the exact height of Spurs’ No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama has officially been recorded.
The Frenchman stands at 7’ 3 1/2” without any shoes on, the Spurs confirmed on Wednesday.
This height puts Wembanyama half an inch shorter than what the NBA previously listed him at ahead of the NBA draft. However, he’s slightly taller than the 7’ 3 1/4” inches he was listed at back in October when he was playing in Las Vegas for two exhibition games with his French team, Metropolitans 92.
Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham studies young coaches. Knowing that, it is no surprise that Ra’shaad Samples came onto his radar. The 28-year-old is the son of famed Dallas high school coach Reginald Samples, and although he may have been reluctant to become a coach at first, he’s wowed those who have worked with him with his authenticity, communication skills and ability to lead.
Since his college days at Stanford, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has shaped his legacy on the field by honing his multi-faceted skillset en route to becoming one of the NFL’s best offensive players. But even during the football offseason, McCaffrey’s Renaissance-style range of talents was on full display—this time in the music arena.
