You know, before the various injuries and the suspension and the early struggles that come naturally with an extended absence f...3647Tue, 20 Oct 2026 16:00:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/did-ty-france-do-enough-to-secure-padres-first-base-job-beyond-2026-r3648/The San Diego Padres had no shortage of good stories in 2026, but the best one might've been the return of Ty France to the organization.  A Southern California native that attended San Diego State University and was drafted by the Padres in 2017 before being traded to Seattle in 2020 final...3648Tue, 20 Oct 2026 13:54:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-roster-update-2027-contract-status-for-every-player-on-the-40-man-roster-r3663/With the San Diego Padres' season over, attention turns to roster moves for the 2027 season. That means knowing who you need to focus on from a free-agent and arbitration perspective. All options—player, club, or mutual—must be exercised within five days of the end of the World Series.

There has not been a more difficult left-handed-hitting offense to beat in these playoffs than the Milwaukee Brewers. With a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS now behind them, it'...3650Sat, 17 Oct 2026 15:03:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/grading-every-padres-player-from-2026-position-players-r3641/When I think about grades, I shudder. My own report cards were not good. Yet here I am, handing out my own grades following the 2026 San Diego Padres season. First up are the position players, to be followed by the starting pitchers and relievers. The hitters overcame a rough start in May a...3641Fri, 16 Oct 2026 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-hitters-of-the-year-2026-fernando-tatis-jr-remains-immaculate-r3601/The 2026 season was an... interesting one offensively for the San Diego Padres. Some familiar faces had productive seasons, while a newcomer emerged as a key piece in the middle of the lineup. And while the Friars ultimately had several hitters worthy of consideration, three stood out above the...3601Thu, 15 Oct 2026 13:53:00 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/in-hindsight-padres-trade-deadline-moves-landed-as-a-total-failure-r3636/3636Wed, 14 Oct 2026 13:59:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-strikeout-deficiencies-got-exploited-by-brewers-in-nlds-collapse-r3635/In a number of different ways, the San Diego Padres were a team entirely capable of managing against the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Division Series, even if the latter possessed the best record in Major League Baseball throughout the regular season. But there was one key way in whi...3635Mon, 12 Oct 2026 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/when-padres-needed-them-most-san-diegos-offensive-stars-retreated-back-into-their-shell-r3634/The old baseball adage is, generally, that pitching and defense win championships. The San Diego Padres and their lineup just gave a lot of credibility to that idea, but not necessarily in a way in which they may have hoped.  For most of the second half of the season, the Padres boasted one...3634Sat, 10 Oct 2026 16:08:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-nlds-failure-against-brewers-is-their-most-disappointing-ouster-yet-r3633/Prior to 2026, the San Diego Padres, as a franchise, had never made the postseason in three consecutive seasons.

In general, they're one of the premier teams in the National L...3633Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:02:02 +0000
