The Padres are trusting A.J. Preller to hire a new manager....but A.J. Preller's future in San Diego isn't set in stone. Is that a problem?

In my opinion, this is a misread of why podcasts have become so big on youtube. I don't think it's as much that people love to watch their pods; but that yt is a place where people already are hanging out, and has a great discoverability algorithm. But what do I know. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/b...

Turns out a manager retiring is good for podcasting.

After Mike Shildt's sudden retirement, the Padres need a new manager. We have at least one idea of someone who might want the job: Bruce Bochy. #Padres

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Absolutely brutal, man.

A Padres fan went to a concert at Petco park last night and purchased a soda. It was given to them in a “padres postseason 2025” cup, because they never used them.
