A former San Diego Padres player retired, the Wild Card starters are set, and an All-Star sends the Chicago Cubs a message.
A former San Diego Padres first baseman and a one-time All-Star during his eight-year MLB career announced his retirement. The sixth-round draft pick out of Auburn in 2013 played with five ball clubs during his time in the big leagues.
In other news, the starting pitchers for the Padres' Wild Card series against the Chicago Cubs have been revealed. Right-hander Nick Pivetta will start things off on Tuesday night, while manager Mike Shildt announced the Game 2 starter, too. Finally, a Padres All-Star star appeared to send a message to the Cubs before the two powerhouses face off at Wrigley Field. If the Padres want to make a deep October run — something that they have been planning since spring training — it all starts with the Wild Card series this week.
