The Padres spent part of the week trying to work a deal that would have sent first baseman Eric Hosmer and prospect Robert Hassell III to the Texas Rangers for Joey Gallo. Voices Plaschke: Andrew Friedman can’t miss a second time on getting Max Scherzer to Dodgers The Dodgers need another pitcher to make a championship push and Andrew Friedman should go after the guy he missed on six years ago -- Max Scherzer. But having made an offseason splash with the trades for the three pitchers and the signing of shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. to a record contract but still facing the prospect of playing a win-or-go-home wild card playoff game, the thinking of Padres chairman Peter Seidler, one source said, is “in for a penny, in for a pound.” As in, they are too close not to go all the way now.
