If the Padres want to dethrone the Dodgers one day in the NL West, they'll need to build a team that can defeat a homegrown L.A. core including Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger and Corey Seager.
Luckily for San Diego, they now employ the man who oversaw the Dodgers' amateur scouting when each of those players was drafted, as well as LA's international scouting when the team signed Yasiel Puig and Hyun-Jin Ryu. Logan White, who left the Dodgers' front office to become the Padres' director of player personnel in 2014, sat down with MLB.com's Mark Feinsand to discuss all the names above and his view of the Padres' path to contention on this week's episode of Executive Access.

On Executive Access, Feinsand provides a unique look at the people building Major League teams by engaging in candid interviews with front-office personnel from around MLB. Each week, you'll find out how they broke into the game, why they do what they do and how they envision the future of baseball. Look out for new episodes on Tuesdays.
