The Padres have one glaring hole left on their roster, and it's one they've been dealing with for years. The team doesn't have a backup center fielder but they do have options on the trade market.
I heard Bob Melvin mentioned trying CJ Abrams out in CF! Giving him time between outfield and shortstop could be how we give him a shot. Then if he rakes, he becomes the everyday CF and Grisham moves to a corner spot. BIG if but I love that idea.
do we think we are totally out of the market for Conforto then? I don’t love him and yes, another lefty bat, but at this point he would probably be p cheap on a one year “prove it” deal and his upside is better than anyone else we are talking about here

Hasn't played CF in years and probably not willing to be a backup, so I assume the Beaty trade closed the door on him.
wouldn't mind him in a platoon with Wil though
