There are six teams currently in MLB that have never won a World Series. The Padres are doing all they can to get off that list. If not this year, then at least over the next few seasons.On Tuesday, the Padres shocked the MLB world by in one of the most impactful trades in MLB history. And as if he wasn't enough, they also added first baseman Josh Bell to immediately upgrade first base and tacked on super-utility bat Brandon Drury from the Reds.In making the trade with the Nationals, the Padres add a player often compared with Ted Williams to a lineup that already features NL MVP candidate Manny Machado and 23-year-old phenom Fernando Tatis Jr., who is after an offseason wrist injury has sidelined him for much of 2022.This deal is for more than just 2022. The Padres have several years of control Utah Jazz T-Shirts on Soto, and the rest of their star-studded lineup. What will this beast of a lineup look like? The Sporting News takes a look.MORE: How Bob Melvin decides to shape the lineup remains to be seen. But once Soto, Bell and Drury are in Emmanuel Mudiay Jersey San Diego and Tatis returns from the injured list, the starting nine should look something like this:Jurickson Profar, LFJuan Soto, RFFernando Tatis Jr., SSManny Machado, 3BJosh Bell, 1BBrandon Drury, DHJake Cronenworth, 2BAustin Nola, CTrent Grisham, CF It's difficult to overstate how impre sive the Padres' core is. Soto and Tatis are two of the best young players in the sport and Machado has been the eighth-most-valuable hitter in baseball since 2013, . That is a dangerous trio to have to face.There have been three batters with at least 450 walks and fewer than 450 strikeouts in MLB history, : Soto, Ted Williams and Mel Ott. Tatis is one of six players with at least 80 home runs and 50 stolen bases before turning 23, joining Mike Trout, Ken Griffey Jr., Ronald Acuna Jr., Alex Rodriguez and Andruw Jones, . Among that group, no one did it in fewer games. And his OPS+ of 160 is second-best only to Trout.FAGAN: Soto hasn't posted an OPS+ below 150 since 2019, when he was only 20 years old. Tatis has never been below a 150 OPS+. For historical context, here are the only times in the live-ball era a team has had multiple, qualifying batters younger than 25 post an OPS+ of 150 John Stockton Jersey or better, .YearTeamPlayers (Age, OPS+)1936CardinalsJoe Medwick (24, 158), Johnny Mize (23, 162)1937CardinalsJoe Medwick (25, 182), Johnny Mize (24, 174)1957BravesHank Aaron (23, 166), Eddie Mathews (25, 154)1963GiantsOrlando Cepeda (25, 165), Willie McCovey (25, 161)1969AthleticsSal Bando (25, 153), Reggie Jackson (23, 189)First of all, it's an impre sive group of names. The only player on that list not in the Hall of Fame is Sal Bando. Second, what is striking is that only the 1936-37 Cardinals had the same duo in two years. The Padres will have both Soto and Tatis in the same lineup for 2.5 years.MORE: And that's before the lineup gets to Machado. Machado might be the best third-best hitter for any team. He is one of the game's best power-hitters, with the seventh-most home runs since 2013 (262) and the Rudy Gobert Jersey 113th-lowest strikeout rate of 524 qualifying batters (16.8 percent). And in two of the past three seasons, he, too, has had an OPS+ better than 150.In the modern era, only eight teams as having had three batters in the lineup all post an OPS+ of 150 or better.YearTeamBatters1925TigersTy Cobb, Harry Heilmann, Al Wingo1929YankeesLou Gehrig, Tony Lazzeri, Babe Ruth1963GiantsOrlando Cepeda, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey1964TwinsBob Allison, Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva1996MarinersKen Griffey Jr., Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez2004CardinalsJim Edmonds, Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen2020PadresManny Machado, Wil Myers, Fernando Tatis Jr.2020BravesRonald Acuna Jr., Freddie Freeman, Marcell OzunaAgain, an impre sive group of names and teams. This new Padres' core feels most similar to the 1996 Mariners, given the players involved. The young, slugging outfielder (Soto and Griffey), the younger, power-speed shortstop (Tatis and Rodriguez) and the more experienced middle-of-the-order bat (Machado and Martinez). What really makes this lineup so scary is the fact that the core won't be intact only for the remainder of 2022: Soto, Tatis and Machado are going to Derrick Favors Jersey be around for a long time.Here's a look at several notable players in San Diego with the last year in which they are currently slated to be under contract, along with the age at which they would hit free agency, .PlayerLast yearAge at free agencyFernando Tatis Jr.203436Manny Machado202836Joe Musgrove202735Austin Nola202536Jake Cronenworth202532Ha-seong Kim202530Trent Grisham202528Juan Soto202426Yu Darvish202337Blake Snell202331Josh Hader202330Jurickson Profar2022*30Mike Clevinger202232Sean Manaea202231Josh Bell202230Brandon Drury202230There are a few pivotal pieces to the team that will be free agents after this season and next, but to have six of the team's current nine starting batters under contract through 2024 seven if Profar has both options Dante Exum Jersey exercised is a rare amount of stability for a playoff contender.That's not even including Musgrove, fresh off an extension, who figures to anchor the rotation for years to come.MORE: Perhaps even more impre sive is that all the deals the Padres have players signed to are team-friendly in that none of these players are under contract in their 40s, and only four players are even under contract after age 34.Scared of facing the Padres? It won't be getting easier any time soon.
