During the conversation, Caswell asked Olney about the market outlook for Luis Arraez ahead of his impending free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Arraez&#8217;s value, Olney said:<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI think it has been demonstrated. He does something better. I mean we have been talking about Tony (Gwynn) already in this podcast. He\u2019s like Tony and that he will hit line drives and people will value him for that.

I think he\u2019s the guy that everybody in the trade deadline would wanna have cause he would plug a hole.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Olney drew a comparison between Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn and three-time All-Star Luis Arraez\u2019s playing style. He also recalled a conversation with someone from the Yankees organization and speculated about pairing Arraez with Yankees captain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/aaron-judge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Aaron Judge<\/a>. On that note, he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI remember having a conversation with someone in the Yankees before they signed Paul Goldschmidt. I was like man you stick Arraez in that lineup in front of Aaron Judge or behind Judge or something like that and he could do damage. Like all of these team could use a guy like Luis Arraez when we get to the trade deadline. Maybe it\u2019s the Padres who just keep him.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Luis Arraez struggles as the Padres win 2-1 against the Athletics<\/h2>\n<p>On Wednesday, the San Diego Padres wrapped up their three-game series against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/team\/oakland-athletics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Oakland Athletics<\/a> with a narrow 2-1 victory. The Athletics took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning, which the Padres tied in the third before pulling ahead in the fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Luis Arraez struggled at the plate, going 0 for 5 with no hits, runs or RBIs. So far in the 2025 season, Arraez is batting .283, with 15 hits, five runs, one home run and four RBIs.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Wednesday\u2019s match, the Padres and Athletics had split the first two games of the series. The Padres will now return home to Petco Park to begin a series against the Colorado Rockies on Friday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/2273835-1716392618-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Chirag Dhariya&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nChirag Dhariya is a baseball reporter at Sportskeeda with over two years of experience in content writing and SEO.
