The Padres now have one of the best rosters in baseball after making two significant trades that brought three All-Star players to the team.

Yesterday, the team acquired All-Star closer Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers, and today they acquired Juan Soto and Josh Bell.

Soto and Bell will now be in a lineup featuring stars Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. It is safe to say the Padres now have one of the deepest lineups in baseball.

The biggest question going forward is, will this lineup be good enough to top their nemesis, the Los Angeles Dodgers? Only time will tell. It will certainly be an exciting playoff race as we enter the month of August.
