The San Diego Padres entered the season with World Series aspirations, but will go into this weekend more than four games out of a Wild Card berth in the National League.
The Padres have baseball\'s highest payroll outside of New York.
After Wednesday\'s loss to the Seattle Mariners, Juan Soto expressed frustration with the team\'s play.
\"We\'ve got to play as a team. We\'ve got to go out there grind every day. Grind every at-bat. ... It\'s been really inconsistent,\" Soto said.
\"Some days we do, some days we don\'t. We gotta do it every day. Days like this series, we just give up. Like literally, we just give up instead of keep grinding, keep pushing. We\'ve got to forget about yesterday and keep moving.\"
