The Padres, like the New York Mets over in the NL East, were supposed to use their big-name roster to romp to the divisional crown.
And here we are in September 2023, and the Padres are in fourth place and 10 games under .500, 21 games behind the NL West-leading Dodgers, whose divisional lead against second-place Arizona is so fat, that we're starting three dudes who weren't even on the roster the first half of the year.
