The Padres and Jung Hoo Lee are a perfect match for each other this winter. With the trade of Juan Soto, the San Diego Padres need outfield production for the 2024 season. In the trade with the Yankees, the Padres also sent their starting center fielder to New York. Trent Grisham is gone, and Jose Azocar is the only rostered player with experience in the middle outfield position. The team could move Fernando Tatis Jr. to center, but they are more likely to sign or trade an outfielder for the job.

When a bus from Texas dropped off some migrants Monday morning in front of the Colorado Capitol, Evan Dreyer from the mayor’s office blasted the atrocity. “These are folks who have come from the Texas border after long journeys, and they are not prepared for cold weather,” Dreyer told the Denver Post. “And to drop them off like that, just randomly, in the cold — in the freezing cold — is inhumane, dangerous and it puts their lives at risk. It’s shameful.”

Patience wearing thin between migrants, traditionally homeless in Denver
