Summary
James Wood is crushing it for the Nationals with 26 homers and a .962 OPS—second in the NL—while the Padres, missing his kind of power, sit near the bottom with just 98 team homers and a .372 slugging percentage. Once traded alongside Juan Soto, Wood’s breakout is a full-circle moment for his longtime friend Jackson Merrill, who still calls him “an awesome dude” and stays hopeful despite San Diego’s 10-loss skid and pitching woes.
