Former Kansas City Royals player Ryan O'Hearn is experiencing a slow start after being traded to the San Diego Padres, despite the team's active trade deadline that bolstered their roster for a playoff push. O'Hearn, who was a standout hitter for the Orioles this season, has struggled in his debut with San Diego, going 1-for-8 with only a single hit and striking out twice in limited at-bats. This marks a challenging beginning for O'Hearn, who previously demonstrated significant offensive potential during his time with Kansas City and Baltimore. Originally traded from Kansas City in early 2023, he expressed enthusiasm about joining the Padres in what he called the "paradise" of San Diego. As he aims to improve his performance, his success could prove crucial for his new team's postseason ambitions.
