jillian59+FollowPadres Eye Casas After Contreras Joins SoxLooks like the Friar Faithful can stop dreaming about a Jarren Duran blockbuster. With Willson Contreras now in Boston, the Red Sox might be ready to move on from Triston Casas—and that’s exactly the kind of buy-low, high-upside move A.J. Preller loves. Casas brings lefty power and patience, but his injury history means he could be available. Should the Padres make a run at him to finally solidify first base? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowPadres dodge a bullet as Dodgers’ trade fizzlesThe Padres just sidestepped what could’ve been a game-changing move by the Dodgers. LA nearly landed Detroit’s ace Tarik Skubal in a blockbuster deal that would’ve sent Tyler Glasnow and top prospects to the Tigers. Padres fans (and honestly, the whole NL West) were holding their breath—imagine facing a rotation with Yamamoto, Snell, Ohtani, and Skubal! But Dodgers’ exec Andrew Friedman pulled the plug, reassuring Glasnow he’s staying put. For now, the Padres can breathe easy, but with the offseason still rolling, anything can happen. How would you feel if this trade had gone through? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowBregman to DBacks? NL West Just Got SpicyPadres fans, buckle up! The Snakes are rumored to be eyeing All-Star Alex Bregman, and if Arizona pulls it off while keeping Ketel Marte, the Friars could be facing a nightmare lineup in the NL West. With King Ketel, breakout Perdomo, and superstar Carroll already in the mix, adding Bregman would make the DBacks a serious threat. How worried are you about this potential move? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowPadres Eye Bido After Ha-Seong Kim MoveHa-Seong Kim heading to Atlanta isn’t the headline for Friar Faithful—what’s juicy is Osvaldo Bido hitting waivers. With King, Cease, and Darvish all gone, San Diego’s rotation is thin. Bido, despite a rough 2025, flashed promise in ‘24 and already knows J.P. Sears from Oakland. He’s low-risk, and the Padres could use a sneaky depth arm. Could Bido be Preller’s next reclamation project? #Sports #Baseball #Padres10Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowPadres take a smart chance on Triston McKenzieSan Diego’s front office just made a move that could quietly pay off big: they’ve signed former Guardians standout Triston McKenzie to a minor-league deal. While his recent numbers haven’t wowed anyone, McKenzie once flashed ace-level stuff, and the risk here is almost zero. If pitching coach Ruben Niebla can help him rediscover his old form, the Padres might have landed a hidden gem for 2026. It’s the kind of under-the-radar signing that could spark real debate—do you think this is a savvy move, or just another long shot? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowBraves’ Kim Deal Shifts Bogaerts DebatePadres fans, how are we feeling after the Braves dropped $20M for just one year of Ha-Seong Kim? Suddenly, that massive Xander Bogaerts contract doesn’t look so wild. Sure, San Diego paid a premium for a proven bat, but Atlanta’s move shows just how pricey shortstops are now. Even if Bogaerts hasn’t been peak “X-Man,” his steady production and the infield shuffle with Kim highlight how tough it is to lock down that spot. Thoughts on how this changes the Bogaerts narrative? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowPadres Lose Suarez to Braves: Bullpen ShakeupBig news, Friar Faithful—Robert Suarez, our All-Star closer, just inked a $45M deal with the Braves! After leading the NL in saves last year, Suarez heads east, leaving a big hole in San Diego’s bullpen. But don’t panic: Mason Miller, who dominated late last season, looks ready to step up as the new closer. How do you feel about this move? Did the Padres make the right call? #Sports #Baseball #Padres20Share
jillian59+FollowPadres Shopping Cronenworth to Boost RotationHot stove alert! The Friars are reportedly shopping Jake Cronenworth hard at the Winter Meetings. With Dylan Cease heading north and Yu Darvish out for 2026, San Diego’s front office is in scramble mode to fix the rotation. Moving Cronenworth’s contract could free up cash for a big arm. Would you deal the versatile infielder to land a new ace? Who says no? #Sports #Baseball #Padres00Share
jillian59+FollowPadres’ future: Will winning still come first?Joe Musgrove isn’t mincing words about what the Padres need most from their next owner: a real commitment to winning, not just making money. With the Seidler family looking to sell and the team’s future up in the air, Musgrove’s call-out hits home for fans who’ve seen San Diego chase big names and big dreams. The question now is whether the next owner will keep that spirit alive—or tighten the purse strings. Padres fans, what matters more to you: chasing a championship or financial stability? Let’s hear your take on what the team needs most right now. #Sports #Baseball #Padres20Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowPadres’ Rotation Shakeup: King to Giants?Tough news for Friar Faithful: MLB insiders are projecting Michael King, the breakout ace, to sign with the Giants—one of our biggest NL West rivals. With King likely gone and Dylan Cease and Yu Darvish out, the Padres’ rotation could look very different in 2026. Giants’ front office, led by Buster Posey, is reportedly ready to pay up for King. If this happens, it’s a major blow to our pitching depth and a big win for the Bay. Thoughts on how Preller should respond? #Sports #Baseball #Padres10Share
