What we learned at Padres FanFest 2025 | 664
Padres FanFest was today and there were some things we learned. Manny Machado is one of the Padres disappointed by the lack of moves this offseason. Xander Bogaerts will be at shortstop with Jake Cronenworth at second base. Adrian Morejon will be in the bullpen. Fernando Tatis Jr. feels the best he's felt since he was going into the 2021 season. Michael King would be shocked if he gets traded but Dylan Cease has not had any conversations with AJ Preller about his future. Ownership did not show up on stage at the Leadership Forum...shocker

Padres don't make significant moves at Winter M...
Thoughts on what went on at the Winter Meetings this week. Mike Shildt expressed confidence in his club's ability to sign Roki Sasaki. His agent, Joel Wolfe, talked about the negative Japanese media affecting Sasaki mentally and how him signing with a smaller market team might be beneficial to him. Also, Kevin Acee reported the Padres are having conversations with other teams about Dylan Cease and they haven't yet had contract extension discussions with Luis Arraez. Garrett Crochet was traded to the Red Sox so who could be suitors for Cease? Jon Heyman said today the Padres are listening on some of their stars including Xander Bogaerts. Dennis Lin reported Adrian Morejon, Bryan Hoeing and Stephen Kolek as possible back of the rotation candidates. San Diego selected Juan Nunez from the Orioles in the Rule 5 draft.

Padres season ends in NLDS Game 5 loss at Dodge...
Reaction to the Padres Game 5 loss vs. the Dodgers in LA. Yu Darvish pitched further than most probably expected and really only made two big mistakes tonight. The problem was they both were homers. The Padres though got plenty of pitches in the middle of the zone and didn't do anything with them.
