Whoooosh!
That s the sound of the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants speeding past the San Diego Padres in the battle for NL West supremacy.
It s not like the Padres did nothing.
They went out and acquired an All-Star Game starter in second baseman Adam Frazier in a four-player deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates while also adding veteran reliever Daniel Hudson and outfielder Jake Marisnick.
However, it s hard not to be disappointed after they missed out on both Max Scherzer and Jose Berrios in an effort to solidify the starting rotation behind Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove.
They weren t just kicking the tires on those two pitchers, either. They made a serious push to acquire both of them, only to fall short.
