The reason I say somehow is that their team wRC+ of 95 ranks 23rd out of 30 teams. At the end of the season, no one cares how many games you deserved to win, but usually, you want to earn your wins. While the Padres have d...3127Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/the-padres-are-winning-in-spite-of-their-offense-r3121/It isn’t a surprise that, as we approach the end of April, the San Diego Padres find themselves in contention in a tough National League West. As of April 23, they’re tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the division and two games ahead of the third-place Arizona Diamondbacks. There was always...3121Fri, 24 Apr 2026 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/lucas-giolito-is-the-best-answer-the-padres-could-have-come-up-with-r3118/The San Diego Padres made perhaps the only noteworthy transaction remaining in early 2026 (non-trade division) in agreeing to a one-year deal with starting pitcher Lucas Giolito on Wednesday. In a vacuum, such a deal should be a welcome addition. There's also reality to consider, however. ...3118Thu, 23 Apr 2026 13:51:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/lucas-giolito-signs-one-year-contract-to-fortify-padres-rotation-r3117/The San Diego Padres have a new weapon in the starting rotation.

That’s plenty of time to get excited (Cincinnati Reds fans), panic (New York Mets fans), and look to next year (every AL West fan). How, then, should San Diego Padres fans feel about their team? Well, not...3111Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:00:03 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/how-the-seidler-family-revamped-padres-baseball%C2%A0-r3108/When Peter Seidler and Ron Fowler purchased the San Diego Padres in the middle of the 2012 season, the Padres were in a rough spot. The team had not made the playoffs since 2006 and was mired in their fourth losing season in five years. Outside of a 90-win campaign in 2010 that saw the Padres mi...3108Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:57:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-mason-miller-nears-team-scoreless-streak-record-r3095/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 5-1 Runs scored last week: 22 Runs allowed last week: 19 Standings     Scores Game 17 (Tuesday): Padres 4, Mariners 1 Game 18 (Wednesday): Padres 7, Mariners 6 Game 19 (Thursday): Pad...3095Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:00:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-record-sale-price-merely-raises-the-bar-for-mlb-franchises-r3106/In isolation, the record-shattering sale of the San Diego Padres is a head-scratcher. Why would Jose E. Feliciano's group pay $3.9 billion for the franchise? That price is more than 60 percent higher than the $2.42 billion Steve Cohen paid for the New York Mets in 2020, and it's 25 percent more...3106Mon, 20 Apr 2026 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/four-padres-facing-crucial-option-decisions-after-2026-r3098/While the 2026 season is barely three weeks old, it's never too early to look ahead to the San Diego Padres' next offseason.
