With the revelation about the four players that were told they are on the team, that leaves four players vying for one spot — first baseman/corner outfielder Connor Joe, outfielders Oscar Gonzalez and Brandon Lockridge and infielder/outfielders Eguy Rosario and Tyler Wade.

Gavin Sheets could be hitting his way into a roster spot. The Padres announced on Thursday that they selected the fifth-year first baseman/DH's contract, who was signed to a Minor League deal in February.
