Padres Notes: Out of October, Juan Soto Signing, Seth Lugo Shines

The Padres have finally been eliminated from playoff contention.

As the Marlins overcame a rained-out game against the Mets and got the win in Pittsburgh, the San Diego Padres have officially been eliminated from playoff contention.

A team that made up the third-highest payroll on Opening Day will not be playing meaningful baseball in October.

In other news, MLB insiders are suspecting a contract extension brewing for Padres slugger Juan Soto and it appears that AJ Preller and Bob Mevlin will be coming back in 2024 — do with that what you will, Friars fans.
