He was fresh off a 2025 campaign in which he posted a 2.66 ERA and a strikeout rate that rested a shade over 25 percent. His start to the year had such...3452Tue, 18 Aug 2026 13:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jose-e-feliciano-and-kwanza-jones-approved-as-new-padres-owners-r3458/Jose E.

At 33 years old, he is hitting .221/.316/.324 with an 85 wRC+ for the San Diego Padres. Those are the lowest outputs among his full seasons since he posted an 81 wRC+ and 0.1 fWAR in 2014, his first season as a starter with the...3448Sun, 16 Aug 2026 16:08:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/adrian-morejons-pure-dominance-is-being-overshadowed-by-mason-miller-r3447/The San Diego Padres sit right in the middle of the Wild Card mix and have been on a surge recently. It’s a good thing that they decided not to sell at the trade deadline, and their decision to hold onto Adrian Morejon looks especially prescient. The Padres might have the best one-two punch to e...3447Sat, 15 Aug 2026 15:05:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/ethan-salas-survived-the-trade-deadline-can-we-officially-call-him-the-padres-catcher-of-the-future-now-r3440/That catching prospect Ethan Salas escaped the trade deadline still a member of the San Diego Padres organization served as a mild surprise.

In fact, his first-half bat speed was 71.3 mph, the same figure he's posting during his subsequent breakout. What has changed is a decision about space and timing; Merrill understood that the p...3438Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:55:03 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/casey-mize-assuaged-padres-concerns-in-impressive-bounce-back-start-r3439/When the San Diego Padres acquired starting pitcher Casey Mize from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline, he was part of a pair of moves (in conjunction with Robbie Ray) to stabilize a very fragile rotation for a prospective playoff team.
