The Padres have signed RHP Ryan Weiss to a 1-year, $1.85M contract. Gotta say, he's what Niebla looks for. Devastating FB/ST/CH/FS palette that can be platoon-neutral. Saying it now, I think he breaks camp as SD's No. 5.

Manny Machado was elite at defense this season, including a career fewest 3 errors at 3B, per @EVT_News. Despite posting career worst BA and OPS, he ended the season with 30 HRs, the same number as Ohtani 👀
