Gaslamp Reacts Survey: Should Padres call up Ethan Salas?
Young catcher has been impressing in Triple-A.
The San Diego Padres have a prized minor league prospect in Ethan Salas, who has been a standout player since being signed as an international free agent in 2023. Despite having missed most of last season due to a back injury, Salas is now 20 years old and has returned to form, impressing in the Double-A and Triple-A levels. In his brief stint with the Chihuahuas, Salas has made 53 plate appearances, hitting .377 with six doubles, a triple, and three home runs while scoring 10 runs and driving in 20 runs.
He has also walked nine times and stolen one base. Salas has shown promise at the plate and in the field, with the Padres looking to him as a potential star for the upcoming season. The question remains: should the Padres call Salas up to the majors? This is the topic of this week's Gaslamp Reacts Survey, which asks fans across MLB to weigh in.
Results will be posted later in the week by FanDuel Sportsbook, the official sportsbook partner of SB Nation.
