Sure, there are the Shohei Ohtanis and Bobby Witt Jr.s of the world who seemingly do it all, but the key to success for most players is that they do one thing extremely well and tread water everywhere else. Ramon Laureano was one of those players, and he sti...3174Thu, 14 May 2026 13:53:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/is-ethan-salas-suddenly-an-untouchable-prospect-again-for-the-padres-r3157/When Ethan Salas burst onto the Single-A scene as a 17-year-old back in 2023, it might’ve been easy to expect to see him playing home games at the top level for the San Diego Padres by now. Especially when he was up a level with Double-A San Antonio at the same age. Between injuries and subseque...3157Tue, 12 May 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-castellanos-rescues-rough-week-with-dramatic-homer-r3156/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 4-3 Runs scored last week: 25 Runs allowed last week: 21 Standings     Scores Game 34 (Monday): Giants 3, Padres 2 Game 35 (Tuesday): Padres 10, Giants 5 Game 36 (Wednesday): Padres 5...3156Mon, 11 May 2026 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/kyle-harts-salvation-lies-in-his-reworked-splitter-r3158/When Kyle Hart struggled through six starts out of the gate for the San Diego Padres in 2025, the remainder of his appearances came in relief. Even short on rotation depth to start this year, that’s where Hart has spent all of his time in 2026. The results? A 5.40 ERA, a plummeting 14.7 K%, and...3158Sat, 09 May 2026 14:02:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/the-padres-are-swinging-harder-in-2026-does-it-even-matter-r3151/Despite a solid record for the first full month of the season, the San Diego Padres came into May sitting near the bottom of Major League Baseball in a number of offensive categories. As of the start of the Cardinals series, they're 23rd in runs scored (141), 26th in on-base percentage (.307), a...3151Fri, 08 May 2026 13:53:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/nick-castellanos-deserves-better-can-the-padres-afford-to-wait-for-better-luck-r3161/Despite a very good career, Nick Castellanos will be remembered for a drive into deep left field and for cracking a beer mid-game in his manager’s face. The 2026 San Diego Padres don’t care about that. They just need their unlikely utility man to hit for power. By one metric, he’s doing exactly...3161Thu, 07 May 2026 13:51:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/griffin-cannings-perfectly-adequate-first-start-could-be-just-what-padres-need-r3152/There was a time when a first start of the season coming against the Chicago White Sox would've represented as soft a landing as possible. But with the San Diego Padres having dropped the first two of three against a Sox team that has been surging over the past week, Griffin Canning didn't quite...3152Tue, 05 May 2026 13:57:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-rough-week-finishes-with-good-win-r3131/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 2-4  Runs scored last week: 22 Runs allowed last week: 35 Standings Scores Game 28 (Monday): Padres 9, Cubs 7 Game 29 (Tuesday): Cubs 8, Padres 3 Game 30 (Wednesday): Cubs 5, Padres 4 Of...3131Mon, 04 May 2026 17:07:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/can-fernando-tatis-jr-find-a-way-out-of-his-launch-angle-spiral-r3144/As of the end of April, there was exactly one hitter in Major League Baseball hitting the ball hard at a higher rate than Fernando Tatis Jr. And even James Woods’ 64.8 Hard-Hit% just narrowly edges the 64.7 percent rate at which the San Diego Padres' right fielder is working with thus far. In th...3144Mon, 04 May 2026 13:55:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/seidler-family-announces-sale-agreement-with-jose-e-feliciano-and-kwanza-jones-r3149/  The San Diego Padres are closer to no longer being under the control of the Seidler family, which announced an agreement Saturday to sell the MLB franchise to Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones. The deal is subject to MLB approval. The announcement comes 16 days after initial reports...3149Sat, 02 May 2026 20:18:00 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/ty-france-is-suddenly-the-padres-most-important-hitter-r3137/There have been several offensive surprises in the first month of this season for the San Diego Padres. Catcher Luis Campusano has a team-leading 1.054 OPS, shortstop Xander Bogaerts is showing why he is being paid $280 million, superstar right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. has yet to hit a home ru...3137Fri, 01 May 2026 21:02:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/adrian-morejon-remains-the-padres-quintessential-set-up-man-r3140/As expected, the San Diego Padres have one of the best corps of relief pitchers in Major League Baseball. Their 4.15 ERA ranks surprisingly in the middle of the road, but a strikeout rate (23.1 percent) that sits in 11th place and an 9.1 percent walk rate that serves as the 12th-best mark in the...3140Fri, 01 May 2026 13:51:02 +0000
