On the first OnFriar Podcast of 2023, NBC 7's Derek Togerson and Darnay Tripp dive into who's out there, who the Padres are looking at, and some under-the-radar ideas that deserve attention.

Should they be adding a former All-Star like Johnny Cueto on a fresh contract, or gamble that a guy who finished in the top-5 in Cy Young Award voting for six straight years will be able to overcome three years of injury problems (yes, the Red Sox will listen on a Chris Sale trade)? Or do they have enough options in-house to make another deep playoff run?
