NL West: Fermin seizes starting C role
Aug 14 2025
After a very active trade deadline that saw the Padres acquire three position players, they have settled into a regular lineup rotation with all three of the acquired players serving as everyday or close to everyday players.
The acquisition of C Freddy Fermin has solidified the Padres' offensive production at the C position. Since being acquired he has become the Padres' regular C, starting eight out of 10 games since his Padres debut on August 2.
