The San Diego Padres’ main problem this winter isn’t Cease leaving; it’s that his unique skills, like missing bats and handling a solid workload, come with a hefty price tag...2727Thu, 13 Nov 2025 16:38:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/three-bench-bats-who-can-help-padres-add-power-for-cheap-in-2026-r2717/The San Diego Padres lacked power production this past season. They ranked 18th in the league in RBIs (663) and 28th in home runs (152). Only six players hit more than 10 home runs: Manny Machado (27), Fernando Tatis Jr. (25), Gavin Sheets (19), Jackson Merrill (16), Jake Cronenworth (11), and X...2717Thu, 13 Nov 2025 14:54:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/craig-stammens-shocking-hire-isnt-a-surprise-if-you-buy-into-padres-current-success-model-r2721/The most straightforward interpretation of the San Diego Padres' decision to hire Craig Stammen as manager is to focus on stability. Don't consider how MLB teams have traditionally hired managers; rather, think of the Padres' position today. They want to keep a high-value competitive window open...2721Wed, 12 Nov 2025 16:37:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/updating-san-diego-padres-status-in-the-wild-wild-national-league-west-r2723/The San Diego Padres have made the playoffs in four of the past six seasons. In that time, they've finished no worse than third in the NL West, but also no better than second. They've firmly been the runner-up to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division during that time, though that status is set...2723Wed, 12 Nov 2025 14:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-arbitration-decisions-projections-mason-miller-r2719/The San Diego Padres had an All-Star bullpen in 2025, and it got even better at the trade deadline, when Mason Miller was acquired from the Athletics on July 31 along with JP Sears. Miller immediately elevated the late-game advantage that the Padres already had and helped to mask a lot of the is...2719Tue, 11 Nov 2025 14:57:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/four-free-agent-fits-for-the-padres-suddenly-empty-rotation-r2714/The Padres have a few needs to address this offseason, but a front-end starter is the top priority. Budget limitations leave around $52 million in Competitive Balance Tax Space (25th among MLB teams), so they must be selective in their free-agent signings.   This offseason, the Padres l...2714Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:57:05 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-arbitration-decisions-projections-jp-sears-r2713/The San Diego Padres had a volatile starting rotation in 2025, mainly due to injuries and inconsistent availability, forcing the organization to continuously adapt its pitching strategy. San Diego relied on a series of spot starters to eat innings before turning it over to their All-Star-laden b...2713Sat, 08 Nov 2025 14:48:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/yu-darvishs-replacement-in-san-diego-could-come-in-the-form-of-another-japanese-pitcher-from-the-cubs-r2716/Shota Imanaga is now a free agent after the Chicago Cubs declined his three-year, $57 million team option and Imanaga responded by declining a player option of his own. It's a rather shocking turn of events after the Japanese southpaw clearly took charge as the ace of the staff in 2024, but sign...2716Fri, 07 Nov 2025 14:51:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/craig-stammen-tabbed-as-mike-shildts-replacement-will-manage-san-diego-padres-in-2026-r2718/In a shocking bit of news, the San Diego Padres announced the Craig Stammen will take over as manager of the franchise in 2026.
