The Padres acquired the top international prospect on the first day they could sign, 17-year-old Leodalis De Vries:

Obviously at the major league level, San Diego is loaded with players that have shortstop experience so De Vries will have plenty of guys to look up to. Fernando Tatis Jr. started his major league career there. Xander Bogaerts is currently playing there. Ha-Seong Kim might switch back from second base if he leaves as a free agent. Jake Cronenworth has over 50 games of experience at short and Manny Machado grew up playing the position.

In addition, they make excellent trade bait. A shortstop who can hit can land a team nearly anything they might need.
