Latest news and updates about the Padres
The Friar Faithful have lived this experience before. The San Diego Padres and their general manager and president of baseball operations A.J. Preller are heading into MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla. with little financial flexibility and an unknown list of targets to fill the roster. Fans can only speculate about how Preller and the […]
The offseason has not brought much news or much positive news with regard to the San Diego Padres. That has not stopped multiple players from the lower levels of the organization from playing in the various winter leagues to improve their skills. Luis Campusano went 0-for-21 last year at the MLB level so his time […]
The international baseball winter leagues have been in progress since shortly after the MLB season ended.

The MLB Winter Meetings begin Sunday in Orlando, Fla., and the San Diego Padres are looking to upgrade their starting rotation. Team President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J.

San Diego Padres President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller announced Thursday the team signed relief pitcher Ty Adcock to a major league contract.

Esteury Ruiz began his 2025 season with the Athletics organization before being acquired by the Dodgers on April 2. He spent most of the season with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets but managed to find some time with the big league squad. A former top prospect with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers, Ruiz […]
With three rotation holes to fill, the San Diego Padres have no doubt been monitoring the dollars that have been given out to starting pitchers to this point in free agency. The contracts imply that addressing the pitching needs through free agency may not be attainable for San Diego from a monetary standpoint. Thomas Conroy […]
The MLB Winter Meetings are a haven for baseball fans longing for 24-hour coverage of their favorite sport. The Hot Stove should come to a sizzle with the expected amount of free-agent signings and blockbuster trades to transpire next week. The San Diego Padres need starting pitching because of the holes in their rotation. They […]
Going into the official start of the Hot Stove season, the Padres still have some outstanding work to be done regarding housekeeping. President of baseball operations/general manager A.J. Preller is still a lame duck general manager and there has still not been a third base coach hired/announced. The lack of any decision regarding Preller is […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: Once again, this is a repost of the game recap from this exciting walkoff homer that Michael Busch hit against the Padres.

The San Diego Padres organization, by its own admission, has a starting pitching problem.
