That also means that today’s grid has asked for players that have played for both the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres.

Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Nationals and Padres.
Juan Soto
Juan Soto is an outfielder who debuted for the Washington Nationals in 2018. He quickly made a name for himself as one of the game’s top young talents.
He had a standout rookie year (finished runner-up for Rookie of the Year) and has continued to be a strong offensive force since then. He won 3 Silver Slugger awards and made two All-Star appearances before moving to the Padres.
His impressive run has continued with the Padres, already making an All-Star game with them. Soto’s hitting ability, combined with his power and discipline at the plate, has made him a constant threat to opposing pitchers.
