&lt;p&gt;During &lt;strong&gt;the last 22 years the batting averages were below .400&lt;/strong&gt; being Todd Helton with .373 (rounded from .3724) in the year 2000. Usually players with good batting averages can lead the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Top-10-MLB-home-runs-leaders-in-2022-20220419-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Top 10 MLB home runs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; or RBI standings.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Ty Cobb holds the record for the best batting average at .366, while another player named Tony Gwynn holds the highest batting average record for a single season at .394 when he played for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-2022-top-10-pitchers-for-the-upcoming-regular-season-20220402-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the last decade of the 20th century (1994 ).&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;During the first few weeks and months of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/this-will-be-the-first-mlb-team-to-wear-an-sponsor-patch-on-their-uniform-20220419-0026.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2022 MLB season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it is possible for a player to maintain a .400 or .390 batting average but at the end of the season the true number shows up. Another factor where the top 10 batting average players stand out is in RBI stats.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Top 10 MLB Batting Average in 2022&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;2021 MLB season the player with the best batting average was Trea Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers (as of 2022)&lt;/strong&gt;. Another standout player in last season's batting average standings was Vladimir Guerrero Jr who was also a standout player in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Top-10-MLB-home-runs-leaders-in-2022-20220419-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Top 10 home runs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Only four MLB players have dominated the batting average standings multiple times during the last 22 years,&lt;strong&gt; two players are Venezuelans, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/albert-pujols-and-another-mlb-player-will-be-the-only-two-active-3000-hit-club-members-20220419-0046.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Miguel Cabrera&lt;/a&gt; (2011, 2013 and 2015), Jose Altuve (2014, 2017),&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;two US player, Joe Mauer (2006, 2009) and DJ LeMahieu (2016, 2020).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Top 10 MLB batting average leaders in 2022

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-batting-average-in-2022-20220502-0015.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Manny Machado&lt;/a&gt; and Anthony Rendon&lt;/strong&gt; are part of an exclusive trio of third baseman who earn $30m per year or more, not everyone in the MLB has big salaries, but &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-shortstop-salary-carlos-correa-is-making-more-money-than-corey-seager-and-trea-turner-20220509-0007.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;most earn millions&amp;nbsp;a year&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. From time to time rivalries arise related to contracts and salaries.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rendon is 32 years old and is playing for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/why-mlb-umpires-check-pitchers-hands-after-the-inning-is-over-20220418-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Los Angeles Angels &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;since the 2020 season, his majors debut was with the Washington Nationals in 2013. Rendon's contract with the LA Angels is for seven years.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Manny Machado is originally from Miami, he was born on July 6, 1992 and his MLB debut was in 2012 with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/what-are-the-days-of-the-year-that-the-mlb-players-wear-pink-20220509-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Baltimore Orioles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, but in 2019 he signed what would be a big contract with the San Diego Padres.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;How much do Anthony Rendon and Manny Machado earn per&amp;nbsp;year?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rendon is the third baseman with the highest salary with a total of $36,000,000 per year,&lt;/strong&gt; while &lt;strong&gt;Manny Machado earns $6m less at $30,000,000 per year.&lt;/strong&gt; Another third baseman who earns more than Machado is Nolan Arenado with $35m per year. The three of them are the only 3rd basemen earning $30m or more in MLB in 2022.&lt;/p&gt;

Machado has played in five all-star games, while Rendon has only one appearance in such a game.&lt;/p&gt;

In other sports in the United States, such as &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2022-schedule-format-fixtures-key-dates-and-tv-channel-20220223-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;soccer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, hockey and basketball, the uniforms already have sponsors,&lt;strong&gt; only the highest level of baseball was left behind.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Fans say &lt;strong&gt;that it 'ruins' the uniforms,&lt;/strong&gt; but the same was said about the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-playoffs-2022-3-reasons-why-the-nets-cant-beat-the-celtics-20220415-0007.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;NBA uniforms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the fans continue to buy the jerseys like nothing happened.&lt;strong&gt; In addition, the sponsor patch will be small and non-invasive, just like in the NBA.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The announcement was expected to be before the start of the&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-2022-top-10-pitchers-for-the-upcoming-regular-season-20220402-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; current season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; but the first sponsorship contract was not yet ready. After the first team joins probably the other teams will also want their own ad patch in the next season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Who is the first MLB team to wear a sponsorship patch?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-2022-top-5-projected-rotations-for-the-upcoming-regular-season-20220402-0023.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; will be the first team with a sponsor on their uniforms, &lt;strong&gt;the team recently announced in a video with Manny Machado and Blake Snell how the team jersey will look with the new sponsor, Motorola.&lt;/strong&gt; The sponsor patch will be featured in the 2023 MLB season.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The alliance with Motorola will not only be in their uniform, but the sponsorship deal covers other aspects related to the San Diego Padres. &lt;strong&gt;The Vice-president and general manager of Motorola said the sponsorship deal with the Padres is exciting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &ldquo;...Being woven into the San Diego Padres jersey is an exciting and pivotal moment for the Motorola brand and our innovative product line, and we're thrilled to connect with Parents&hellip;&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The last time the team played in a World Series was in 1998.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Padres' &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/world-series-2021-how-many-challenges-do-mlb-teams-get-per-game-20211026-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;record in 2021&lt;/a&gt; was negative at 79-83 overall&lt;/strong&gt;, but at least the home record was positive at 45-36 for third place in the division. Despite the fact that the team invested money in multiple players, the season was considered a failure.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Padres are trying to make all the adjustments for the new &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-playoff-format-2022-how-will-the-baseball-postseason-be-played-20220311-0024.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2022 MLB season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the first change is a new manager. Bob Melvin is the new manager for the Padres, he has previous experience with the Athletics, Diamondbacks and Mariners.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Who is the starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres on Opening Day?&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Yu Darvish will be the starter for the San Diego Padres on &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Top-25-MLB-teams-with-most-fans-20200528-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Opening Day&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; he is an experienced right hand pitcher, plus this will be the second year in a row where Darvish will be the pitcher for the Padres on Opening Day.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Darvish will play against the Arizona Diamondbacks, while another Japanese player, Shohei Ohtani will also start (Angels) against the Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;. The decision to make Darvish the opener was supported by Bob Melvin, the new manager of the Padres.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Who is the starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres on Opening Day?

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-news-aaron-boone-is-concerned-about-unvaccinated-yankees-players-20220314-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; didn't swing for the fences like most of their fans expected. They failed to land &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dodgers-plan-after-signing-freddie-freeman-20220317-0006.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Freddie Freeman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-the-most-likely-landing-spots-for-carlos-correa-20220225-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Carlos Correa&lt;/a&gt;, or Trevor Story&lt;/strong&gt;. Moreover, they have yet to improve their shaky starting rotation.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But even despite that, landing &lt;strong&gt;Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson&lt;/strong&gt; will certainly give their infield a boost. They got a massive defensive upgrade at shortstop and a former MVP a third baseman, although he won't come without injury risk.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Bronx Bombers&lt;/em&gt; now have a bit of a logjam at the infield, making&lt;strong&gt; Luke Voit&lt;/strong&gt; the odd man out in their lineup. That's why the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/fernando-tatis-jr-to-miss-the-start-of-the-2022-mlb-season-how-long-will-the-padres-star-be-out-20220314-0017.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are reportedly looking to make a move for him, &lt;strong&gt;according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;MLB Rumors: Padres Are Interested In Luke Voit&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;The signing of free-agent first basemen Anthony Rizzo gives the Yankees five infielders &mdash; Rizzo, Donaldson, Kiner-Falefa, Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu &mdash; for four spots,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; Rosenthal said.&amp;nbsp;&quot;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The depth not only should prove useful if Donaldson again deals with leg issues, but also will enable the team to trade first baseman Luke Voit, who projects to earn $5.4 million in arbitration. The Yankees are speaking with clubs about Voit, and the Padres &mdash; one of the losers in the Freeman sweepstakes &mdash; are among the teams interested, sources said.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;A hypothetical Voit acquisition would strengthen a lineup that is thin on middle-of-the-order firepower after Fernando Tatis Jr.&rsquo;s most recent injury,&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;Sean Bavazzano of MLB Trade Rumors said.&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;Projected by MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz to earn $5.4MM in arbitration, Voit would also prove eminently affordable for a Padres club that&rsquo;s about $10MM of payroll shy of incurring luxury tax-related penalties. &lt;strong&gt;That projected arbitration figure likely appeals to a handful of clubs, but for a San Diego team saddled with pricy contracts and limited free agent options, a displaced Voit may prove to be their best bet at improving team offense without emptying the farm or wallets.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Yankees sure need to make some moves to keep up with the rest of the powerhouses in the AL, while the Padres will be thirsty for revenge after a disappointing campaign last season, so we expect both teams to be quite aggressive to&lt;strong&gt; try and get a deal done as soon as possible.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

MLB Rumors: Padres want to steal a Yankees star

&lt;p&gt;Due to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-playoff-format-2022-how-will-the-baseball-postseason-be-played-20220311-0024.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Major League Baseball's&lt;/a&gt; lockout&lt;/strong&gt;, teams and players weren't allowed any sort of communication. That means that &lt;strong&gt;the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/manny-machado-stands-by-fernando-tatis-jr-and-calls-out-the-haters-20210329-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/a&gt; were unaware of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/fernando-tatis-jr-linked-to-trevor-bauer-assault-scandal-20210712-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fernando Tatis Jr's&lt;/a&gt; whereabouts for months.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Now, it's been known that the Dominican superstar suffered a wrist injury at some point in the offseason, although the organization was unaware of that. Unfortunately, that injury required surgery and he's &lt;strong&gt;expected to miss the beginning of the 2022 MLB season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;This will be the third time through his first three 162-game seasons that 'El Ni&ntilde;o' has been forced to miss time with an injury, and the Padres &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/padres-want-fernando-tatis-jr-to-change-positions-20210810-0012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;have been quite cautious&lt;/a&gt; with him when it comes to sending him back to the field.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Fernando Tatis Jr's Injury: How Long Will He Be Out?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. may need surgery on a fractured left wrist and could face a recovery time of up to three months, general manager A.J. Preller said on Monday. A decision on surgery has not been made, Tatis said,&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; reported Dennis Lin of The Athletic.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Tatis' recovery time following wrist surgery would depend on 3 main factors &mdash; the type, location and severity of the fracture. &lt;strong&gt;While we don&rsquo;t know the exact details yet, recovery from the surgery would likely take around 10 to 14 weeks, according to our algorithm. &lt;/strong&gt;This surgery comes with a big challenge as a baseball player &mdash; not only does the fracture need to fully heal, but the surrounding muscles need time to get back to full strength and range of motion takes time to improve.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I&rsquo;m expecting Tatis to miss two to three months, but it will take another four to eight weeks after that until his power is really back. &lt;/strong&gt;The Inside Injuries algorithm is projecting a Below Average performance through the first half of the season.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The San Diego Padres are &lt;strong&gt;looking to bounce back &lt;/strong&gt;from a disappointing 2021 season in which they were expected to come out of the NL West. For that, they'll need their franchise player at his best.&lt;/p&gt;

Fernando Tatis Jr to miss the start of the 2022 MLB season: How long will the Padres star be out?

&lt;p&gt;Every couple of years, a foreign player takes &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;player by storm and becomes an instant sensation in the U.S.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/former-mlb-star-explains-why-shohei-ohtani-is-better-than-babe-ruth-20210823-0021.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Shohei Ohtani&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/fernando-tatis-jr-linked-to-trevor-bauer-assault-scandal-20210712-0002.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fernando Tatis Jr&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;are two of the most recent examples of that trend.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Now, scouts are enamored by &lt;strong&gt;Seiya Suzuki's talents&lt;/strong&gt;, as the Japanese star has drawn comparisons to former greats of the game like &lt;strong&gt;Hideki Matsui. &lt;/strong&gt;While not a two-way player like Ohtani, he's been deemed the next big thing to come out of Asia.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Needless to say, plenty of teams have already &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-texas-rangers-looking-to-add-seiya-suzuki-20211213-0027.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;expressed their interest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in signing the Japanese slugger once the lockout is lifted. Here, we're going to talk only about those &lt;strong&gt;who could actually need his services for next season.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;MLB Rumors: Best Fits For Seiya Suzuki&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;4. Texas Rangers&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Texas Rangers&lt;/strong&gt; made more noise than any other team in the Majors during the brief offseason. They committed nearly half a billion dollars to get one of the best middle infields in the league and fight with the Houston Astros for the top of the division.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But we're still talking about a team that lost 102 games last season and &lt;strong&gt;Corey Seager and Marcus Semien&lt;/strong&gt; aren't enough to just turn that around. They need to add more pitching and fix their outfield defense, thus making Suzuki an obvious fit.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;3. Boston Red Sox&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox &lt;/strong&gt;didn't waste time to bolster their rotation with the additions of &lt;strong&gt;Michael Wacha and Rich Hill&lt;/strong&gt; but GM &lt;strong&gt;Chaim Bloom &lt;/strong&gt;has vowed to make a couple of moves once free agency resumes.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;They brought back &lt;strong&gt;Jackie Bradley Jr&lt;/strong&gt; but lost&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Hunter Renfroe's&lt;/strong&gt; timely hitting, so there's a bit of a gap in the RF that Suzuki could easily fill. He's got superstar potential and the Red Sox want to build for the future, and they could ease him into action.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;2. San Diego Padres&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/strong&gt; aren't strangers to Asian stars and the word around the league is that they've been doing their due diligence on Suzuki for years now. They need something to finally get over the hump and he might be just what the doctor ordered.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Albeit the Padres have a somewhat solid outfield, that's also the weakest link of their explosive offense. They have&lt;strong&gt; enough depth&lt;/strong&gt; to make up for him while he gets used to MLB's velocity and could be even more of a contender if he turns out to be as good as advertised.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h3&gt;1. San Francisco Giants&lt;/h3&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;And last but not least, we find the &lt;strong&gt;San Francisco Giants&lt;/strong&gt;, a team that was dealt a massive blow with the loss of &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Gausman &lt;/strong&gt;and that could lose even more of its core in free agency. Also, the contender that craves outfield help more than any other team in the league.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Giants weren't expected to be as good as they were last season, yet they wound up winning a franchise-record 107 games. The Giants need a right-handed outfielder that can hit for average and power, and Suzuki &lt;strong&gt;checks all those boxes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

MLB Rumors: Best fits for Seiya Suzuki

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/fernando-tatis-jr-t185138&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fernando Tatis Jr&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;is one of the &lt;strong&gt;new faces of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;baseball.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; He's exciting to watch, an electric player that will leave all on the field on every single chance he gets. But that may not be what the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/san-diego-padres-t125466&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/san-diego-padres-t125466&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;/a&gt;need right now.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It didn't take long before Tatis Jr proved that he could be a superstar in the league. Then again, his proneness to get hurt has raised &lt;strong&gt;several red flags&lt;/strong&gt; within the Padres organization, especially after signing him to such a big extension in the offseason.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why, now that he's almost eligible to return to the lineup after his third stint in the IL this season, the Padres want him to move to the outfield to try and keep him&lt;strong&gt; safe and sound for &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/2021-mlb-playoff-format-how-the-baseball-postseason-will-be-played-20210331-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;the playoffs.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Padres Want Fernando Tatis Jr To Play In The Outfield&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(Transcript via AJ Cassavell of MLB.com)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Tatis took to the outfield, where he shagged fly balls in center and eventually moved to right field for one-on-one work with outfield coach Wayne Kirby. It seems increasingly possible -- perhaps likely even -- that when Tatis returns, it will be as an outfielder. Though the club maintains that no decision has yet been made on that front.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Internally, the Padres feel as though a move to the outfield might be the best way to preserve Tatis for the stretch run. He has suffered a series of four or five shoulder injuries already this season. The latest dislocation was the worst of the bunch, and it landed Tatis on the IL on July 31. Although he's eligible to return on Tuesday, he is not ready just yet.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;At the minimum, Tatis is looking at a few more days of rehab -- during which he'll continue to get pregame reps in the outfield. The early returns are positive.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Moving Tatis Jr to the outfield would make sense from that standpoint. The only way to stabilize his shoulder and prevent another injury would be to have &lt;strong&gt;season-ending injury&lt;/strong&gt;, so they're obviously looking to avoid that for now.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Friars have &lt;strong&gt;Jake Cronnenworth and Ha-seong Kim&lt;/strong&gt;, both of who are more than capable of successfully playing shortstop. They need Tatis' bat back in the lineup and they know they don't stand a chance in the NL West unless&amp;nbsp;he's at full strength.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Padres want Fernando Tatis Jr to change positions

&lt;p&gt;Over the past couple of years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/trevor-bauer-t155268&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trevor Bauer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has made plenty of headlines around &lt;strong&gt;M&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ajor League Baseball&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; not only because of his dominant pitching but also because of &lt;strong&gt;his constant &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/trevor-bauer-makes-a-fool-out-of-mlb-over-new-sanctions-other-pitchers-sound-off-20210616-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;controversial&lt;/a&gt; remarks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Often accused of using pine tar and sticky substances, Bauer has been a disruptive agent for the league on social media. Yet, they've never been able to prove that he's - in fact - &lt;strong&gt;using illegal substances.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nonetheless, the league has finally found a reason&amp;nbsp;to get him out of the game, as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles&amp;nbsp;Dodgers &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;star has been accused by a woman &lt;strong&gt;of beating her up during their encounters.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Woman Who Accused Trevor Bauer Had A History With Fernando Tatis Jr&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;But now, to make things a little more complicated, Radar reported that the woman had also been with&lt;strong&gt; San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr &lt;/strong&gt;and that he could also be brought in for an investigation, as one of her friends reached out to MLB and the&lt;strong&gt; Pasadena Police Department&lt;/strong&gt; with more evidence:&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;In the messages &ndash; obtained and reviewed by Radar &ndash; the alleged victim told the friend she allegedly had a past sexual relationship with San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis, Jr., saying she&lt;strong&gt; &quot;cant believe I achieved that,&lt;/strong&gt;&quot; adding that it was the &lt;strong&gt;&quot;best sex OF MY LIFE.&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;The woman alluded to that relationship being &quot;&lt;strong&gt;the reason [she] had to resign from the pad squad!&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; Per the Padres' website, the Pad Squad is an ambassador team for the Padres and part of the Petco Park experience,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; stated the report.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;The woman went on to send the friend screenshots of Instagram DMs allegedly exchanged between herself and Bauer, noting that she was&lt;strong&gt; &quot;going to his house&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; that week and&lt;strong&gt; &quot;already [has] her hooks in,&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;adding, &lt;strong&gt;&quot;you know how I roll,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&quot; added Radar.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;The woman told the friend she was &lt;strong&gt;&quot;literally going to get in his head&quot;&hellip; &quot;and find pine tar.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; She added,&lt;strong&gt; &quot;trust me I know what I'm doing.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; The woman said Bauer was &lt;strong&gt;&quot;so intriguing to me tho&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; and that &lt;strong&gt;&quot;hes a whackaddodle. Like Clev,&quot; a&lt;/strong&gt; reference to Bauer's former teammate and San Diego Padres pitcher Mike Clevinger, who she alluded to knowing,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; the report concluded.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The texts, however, do not imply that Tatis Jr also assaulted her or anything like that. But, according to the alleged victim, those texts could hurt her case as she believes people won't take her seriously anymore. Whatever's the case, it seems like this history &lt;strong&gt;just won't go away any time soon.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fernando Tatis Jr is also linked to Trevor Bauer's assault scandal

&lt;p&gt;There's absolutely no doubt that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/best-hitters-in-mlb-2021-20210421-0007.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Fernando Tatis Jr&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;is &lt;strong&gt;the biggest entertainer&lt;/strong&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major League Baseball.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; He's a treat to watch even if you're not a baseball fan, and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/san-diego-padres-t125466&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;are well aware of that.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why they signed him to &lt;strong&gt;a huge contract extension&lt;/strong&gt; in the summer and that's also why they've made him the cornerstone of their project. He's got all-time great potential and is proving him right away.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As a matter of fact, the Dominican shortstop is on pace&lt;strong&gt; to break a record&lt;/strong&gt; that's stood around the league for nearly a century, even though he had to miss some time early in the season &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/fernando-tatis-jr-suffers-scary-injury-timeline-and-recovery-date-20210406-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;with an injury.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;MLB News: Padres Star Fernando Tatis Jr On Pace To Break 90-Year-Old MLB Record&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;After getting &lt;strong&gt;his 13th stolen base&lt;/strong&gt; against the &lt;strong&gt;New York Mets&lt;/strong&gt;, Fernando Tatis Jr is now tied for the most stolen bases in the National League. He's also tied with Braves star &lt;strong&gt;Ronald Acu&ntilde;a Jr&lt;/strong&gt; for the &lt;strong&gt;most home runs in the National League (17).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While those numbers on their own are impressive but not historical, he could become the first player to lead either league in both stolen bases and home runs since &lt;strong&gt;Chuck Klein of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1932&lt;/strong&gt;, nearly 90 years back in time.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The player that came in closer to break that record was &lt;strong&gt;Matt Kemp&lt;/strong&gt; in 2011. He led the National League in home runs and was second in stolen bases, although he trailed the player in first place by 21 steals.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The most impressive part about these numbers is the fact that&lt;em&gt; 'El Ni&ntilde;o'&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;had to miss some time with injury. Otherwise, he'd be leading both categories and be on pace to become the&lt;strong&gt; first player with 50+ home runs and 50+ stolen bases in MLB history.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Fernando Tatis Jr is on pace to break a 90-year-old MLB record

&lt;p&gt;Seven weeks of the&lt;strong&gt; 2021 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/2021-mlb-season-schedule-predictions-odds-dates-tv-and-live-stream-20210331-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;regular season&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are already in the history books. So, even if it's still too early to tell who's going to &lt;strong&gt;win the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;World Series&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; some teams have already proven to be way above the rest.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While the ever-strugglin&lt;strong&gt;g Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates&lt;/strong&gt; are already planning ahead to the draft and next season, a handful of teams has shown their strength throughout the first two months of the season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That's why oddsmakers already have three strong candidates to take home the &lt;strong&gt;Commissioner's Trophy &lt;/strong&gt;at the end of&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/2021-mlb-playoff-format-how-the-baseball-postseason-will-be-played-20210331-0008.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; the playoffs&lt;/a&gt;, and we'll let you know everything about them in the following paragraphs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;3. San Diego Padres (+800)&lt;/h2&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;San Diego Padres&lt;/strong&gt; made some huge moves in the offseason to keep up with the Los Angeles Dodgers and it has paid off thus far. They're coming off sweeping a 9-game homestand and have shown the ability to outscore every single rival.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Their offense was never in question and their much-improved defense makes them a legit threat out of the NL West. Also,&lt;strong&gt; Fernando Tat&iacute;s Jr&lt;/strong&gt; continues to make strides as the league's finest entertainer.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;2. New York Yankees (+700)&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;413&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:413&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1621867933222/sites/bolavip/img/2021/05/24/new_york_yankees_2.jpg_22993414.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;413&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/strong&gt; had struggled with their starting rotation for nearly a decade. Last week, their starters didn't allow a single run, including a no-hitter from Corey Kluber. Add a red-hot Gleyber Torres to the mix and you have yourself a contender.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Also, the&lt;em&gt; Bronx Bombers&lt;/em&gt; have finally found a consistent bullpen and aren't blowing leads in the 9th as often as they used to last year. They've produced multiple runs despite not always hitting&lt;strong&gt; 4 homers per game,&lt;/strong&gt; which was also a huge issue the past season.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;div id=&quot;relatedNews-25&quot;&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;1. Los Angeles Dodgers (+330)&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot; style=&quot;display:inline-block&quot;&gt; 
  &lt;img data-height=&quot;413&quot; data-width=&quot;740&quot; data-size=&quot;w:740,h:413&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; src=&quot;/__export/1621867959406/sites/bolavip/img/2021/05/24/mookie_betts_2.jpg_22993414.jpg&quot; width=&quot;740&quot; height=&quot;413&quot;&gt;

  &lt;/figcaption&gt; 
 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Los Angeles Dodgers&lt;/strong&gt; have been somewhat disappointing this season but they still have the best team in the league. I mean, we're talking about a team that lost Dustin May for the season but just got David Price back.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;When locked in, there's no team in the world that can match the Dodgers' power and starting rotation. The only question marks for this team are their struggling bullpen and &lt;strong&gt;Dave Roberts'&lt;/strong&gt; questionable decisions.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
