The minor league contract, first reported by Aram Leighton, includes an invite to Spring Training. While it might...2820Tue, 23 Dec 2025 16:19:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/with-michael-king-back-in-san-diego-a-nick-pivetta-trade-feels-more-likely-r2818/It looked like Michael King would not be heading back to San Diego as recently as a few days ago, when it was reported his market was down to Baltimore, New York, and Boston. But something changed, because King is back in town on a three-year, $75 million deal. The Padres got their ace back, and...2818Tue, 23 Dec 2025 02:12:06 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-may-have-an-ideal-trade-partner-in-new-york-mets-r2806/2806Mon, 22 Dec 2025 16:33:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/how-padres-can-turn-mason-miller-into-tarik-skubal-the-hard-way-r2810/The start of 2026 is fast approaching, and the San Diego Padres still haven't made the blockbuster trade(s) that were teased/threatened during the Winter Meetings. That inaction has created a vacuum in the fan realm. Usually, it gets filled with trade ideas that would make every team involved sa...2810Mon, 22 Dec 2025 14:57:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/new-padres-manager-craig-stammen-finalizes-bulky-coaching-staff-r2812/When selecting his inaugural coaching staff, Craig Stammen mixed a good chunk of the old group with a handful of newcomers. The new San Diego Padres manager finalized his 18-member coaching staff, which was announced on Dec. 17.

We're talking about a rotation that has already lost Dylan Cease to free agency. The same rotation that will be without the injured Yu Darvish all season, and now features Joe Musgrove, who hasn't pitched s...2809Sun, 21 Dec 2025 15:03:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/sung-mun-song-adds-newfound-stability-versatility-to-padres-infield-r2817/A.J.

It's a big deal, in more ways than one. As important as it was for San Diego to address an offseason need, the contract's structure benefits the club early while als...2814Fri, 19 Dec 2025 23:18:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/aj-prellers-spending-spree-continues-padres-sign-korean-infielder-sung-mun-song-r2815/Well, someone finally woke A.J.
