Their winning percentage has dipped each successive month of the season, culminating in the 13-15 record they posted in June. If the Padres are to turn the tide, they'll need their offense to pick up the...2511Tue, 08 Jul 2025 15:15:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-rumors-reese-mcguire-could-be-sneaky-target-at-mlb-trade-deadline-r2507/With just a few weeks to go until Major League Baseball's trade deadline on July 31, it's difficult to project exactly where the San Diego Padres will stand when the smoke clears. No stranger to impact moves, A.J. Preller finds himself with a team that has been middling since May and limited res...2507Tue, 08 Jul 2025 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-all-stars-a-walk-off-everything-in-between-r2508/Weekly Overlook: Record: 3-3 (48-41 overall) Runs Scored: 18  Runs Allowed: 23 Standings: 2nd in NL West, 7.0 GB LAD Game 84 (6/30) | PHI 4, SD 0  Game 85 (7/2) | SD 6, PHI 4 Game 86 (7/2) | PHI 5, SD 1 Game 87 (7/4) | SD 3, TEX 2 Game 88 (7/5) | TEX 7, SD 4 Game 89 (7/6)...2508Mon, 07 Jul 2025 15:11:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-anatomy-of-an-inning-fourth-of-july-fireworks-r2506/The stakes of Friday night's game in San Diego against the Texas Rangers felt just a bit higher than usual. The Padres sat 0.5 games ahead of their wild card competition, and with the energy of a packed stadium on the Fourth of July, the squad needed to come out on top.  The battle entered...2506Mon, 07 Jul 2025 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-minor-league-relief-pitchers-of-the-month-june-2025-r2498/June was a strong month for relief arms throughout the Padres' minor league system, with multiple relievers posting zeros and locking down wins in high-leverage spots. A couple of arms just missed the cut, but the following five relievers stood out with either dominant strike-throwing, volume, o...2498Sat, 05 Jul 2025 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/manny-machado-2000-hits-and-legacy-in-san-diego-r2495/By the end of this week, there's a very good chance that San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado will have recorded the 2,000th hit of his career. With 1,994 hits going into Wednesday's doubleheader, he continues to be one of the more impactful hitters across the landscape of Major League B...2495Fri, 04 Jul 2025 14:01:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/randy-v%C3%A1squez-is-taking-one-step-forward-one-step-back-in-2025-r2497/One of the more impressive feats that the San Diego Padres have been able to pull off in 2025 is within their rotation. Already a starting group that lacked depth, injuries (both new and pre-existing) have led Mike Shildt to cobble together a rotation as best he could. And, somehow, it's hung in...2497Thu, 03 Jul 2025 13:53:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-pitchers-of-the-month-june-2025-r2500/June was another mediocre month for the Padres, which represents exactly how the team has fared since their flaming-hot start to the season. San Diego finished June 13-15, which was good enough to keep themselves in the playoff race, but they certainly aren’t gaining any ground.  These resu...2500Thu, 03 Jul 2025 01:10:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/fernando-tatis-jr-is-somehow-still-among-baseballs-best-in-2025-r2492/Nobody is suggesting that the stretch of time since the middle of May has revealed anything special about Fernando Tatis Jr. The San Diego Padres right fielder remains a superstar player with a standard set by multiple years of upper-tier performance. However, it's also fairly clear that since t...2492Wed, 02 Jul 2025 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/how-do-aj-prellers-aggressive-contract-offers-look-after-a-few-years-of-data-r2494/Since being promoted to President of Baseball Operations in 2021, AJ Preller has shelled out some hefty contracts. The San Diego Padres have a 2025 payroll of almost $210 million, making them the ninth most expensive roster in Major League Baseball. The team is spending more than $104 milli...2494Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:15:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/lets-give-the-san-diego-padres-some-first-half-superlatives-r2490/Despite coming out of the gate firing, the San Diego Padres spent the second quarter of 2025 stumbling all over the field. Their offense cratered for a time; their pitching faltered in those rare moments when the offense provided support. There were injuries. There were suspensions. There were f...2490Mon, 30 Jun 2025 13:55:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-a-step-forward-a-step-back-r2491/Weekly Snapshot: Record Last Week: 3-3 (Overall: 45-38) Run Scored Last Week: 20 Runs Surrendered Last Week: 28 Standing: 2nd in NL West (7.0 GB 1st place LAD) *** Game 78 (6/23) | WAS 10, SD 6 Game 79 (6/24) | SD 4, WAS 3 Game 80 (6/25) | SD 1, WAS 0 Game 81 (6/27) | CIN 8,...2491Sun, 29 Jun 2025 22:15:01 +0000
