Padres' World Series odds after $280 million Xander Bogaerts deal

The San Diego Padres signed former Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts to a massive 11-year $280 million dollar deal late Wednesday night. The Padres finished three games shy of a World Series bout against the Houston Astros last season. They will also get star Fernando Tatis Jr. back in late April.

The Padres have a deadly lineup when Tatis Jr. returns. Bogaerts will probably stay at shortstop. Jake Cronenworth would slide over to first and Ha-Seong Kim would play second. General manager A.J. Preller is a magician when it comes to offseason additions.
