Padres Could Move Xander Bogaerts Off Shortstop 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Oct 23, 2023 12:12 pm

The San Diego Padres have had internal discussions about moving Xander Bogaerts off shortstop, according to a report.

The club would ask Bogaerts to move to first or second base.

San Diego would prefer to have Ha-Seong Kim and Jake Cronenworth as their double-play combination, with Manny Machado at third and Bogaerts at first.

The 31-year-old signed an 11-year, $280 million contract with the Padres last winter.
