The Padres camp and lineup is dramatically different with their biggest stars, Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Mason Miller headed to the World Baseball Classic. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the biggest storylines of the weekend, including bad news on Bryan Hoeing and Joe Musgrove's pending return versus Great Britain. What kind of outcome is A.J. Preller hoping for and what would be best long and short-term for the Padres?

The duo is no longer buying Fernando Tatis in the cleanup spot but who makes the most sense if he moves down in the order? The duo breakdown Craig Stammen's comments on using Jake Cronenworth in the leadoff spot and what kind of spark he wants at the top of the order. Hello, Jackson Merrill? 

Last but not least, why exactly did Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly turn down the Padres, the chance to live in Coronado and all San Diego has to offer for...the desert? Darren has a clear message for the rest of the Zonies.
