Preller and the San Diego Padres will head prior to the trade deadline, there is a case to be made that they should sell off at least a few pieces in order to start building more with the future in mind. Even if they do make a run a...3390Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:04:03 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-can-justify-a-trade-of-mason-miller-whether-they-buy-or-sell-at-deadline-r3389/Heading into the final weekend before the MLB trade deadline, we still don't know whether the San Diego Padres plan to buy or sell. They're just outside of wild card spot in the National League, but the handful of teams within their range makes even that relatively narrow gap a difficult one to...3389Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:56:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/aj-preller-loves-blockbusters-so-which-team-represents-the-padres-ideal-trade-deadline-partner-r3399/While a multi-game deficit and a handful of teams ahead of them in the National League Wild Card race isn't the most ideal set of circumstances for the San Diego Padres, their weekend sweep of the Miami Marlins likely gave A.J. Preller all the clearance he needed to work in an additive direction...3399Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/luis-campusano-has-forced-padres-hand-behind-the-plate-r3391/The concept of a mess is not unique to any particular facet of the 2026 San Diego Padres roster. They've struggled to piece together starts on the mound, have received mixed performances from virtually every hitter, and have had to handle injury issues with nearly everyone of note.

Of course, that's not necessarily a positive when your depth is as thin as theirs has been. And when you're cycling through said options in rapid succ...3396Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:55:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/what-is-padres-place-in-national-league-playoff-picture-one-week-ahead-of-mlb-trade-deadline-r3394/As the trade deadline looms, the San Diego Padres find themselves looking at a long road to get back into the playoff picture.

Exceeding almost all of them, though, was the perplexing manner of Fernando Tatis Jr.'s early season power outage.  It wasn't that Tatis was slumping across April and May. In fact, he was qui...3380Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:59:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/3-underrated-padres-draft-picks-who-can-rise-quickly-through-the-farm-system-r3385/With the goal of competing for a World Series every season in a tough National League division, the San Diego Padres have aggressively used their prospects to acquire established MLB talent.

Those kind of things tend to happen when you underperform over multiple years with a woeful Chicago White Sox club.  When the White Sox non-tendered Sheets following the 2024 season, th...3377Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:50:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jake-cronenworth-is-becoming-more-impactful-but-padres-require-a-balancing-act-r3376/It'd be easy to look at the season of Jake Cronenworth and not walk away with anything of note. Such is life when you've missed two months of the year while residing on the concussion-related injured list. However, the early returns upon his, well, return are encouraging for a San Diego Padres t...3376Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:54:02 +0000
