They lost eight in a row over the past week, including score lines of the 15-3, 23-3, and 12-7 variety, the latter of which the team led 6-0. This is a team at an inflection point for 2026 and beyond. The pitching is a...3332Mon, 06 Jul 2026 13:54:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/which-san-diego-padres-should-be-at-the-2026-all-star-game-r3320/This weekend, Major League Baseball will reveal their rosters for the 2026 All-Star Game. Even through their uneven play through the first three months of the season, the San Diego Padres stand to have a couple of possible representatives for the Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia later this mont...3320Sat, 04 Jul 2026 14:06:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/jason-adams-injury-will-hurt-padres-more-than-his-war-suggests-r3317/Few relievers present a statistical contradiction as striking as San Diego Padres fireman Jason Adam in 2026. His 2.51 ERA still points to a pitcher capable of handling high-leverage innings. His slider continues to generate whiffs at an elite rate. His changeup still has the movement that has k...3317Fri, 03 Jul 2026 23:00:00 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-hitters-of-the-month-june-2026-fernando-tatis-jr-rediscovers-his-stardom-r3325/The month of June was a disappointing one for the San Diego Padres, who lost significant ground in the National League West race. After finishing May 1.5 games back from the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego went 11-14 in June and enters July 11 games back from the Dodgers. Likewise, they are no lo...3325Fri, 03 Jul 2026 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/after-brutal-loss-sweep-the-padres-feel-like-a-team-on-the-brink-of-collapse-r3321/To their credit, the San Diego Padres were never supposed to be in the mix as long as they were.  They spent the first month of the season flirting with first place in the National League West and have since remained involved as a key component of the NL Wild Card race. In the midst of budg...3321Thu, 02 Jul 2026 19:07:04 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/san-diego-padres-pitchers-of-the-month-june-2026-r3319/After a hot start to the season, the San Diego Padres fell to earth in May. In June, they went 11-15, and now entering July, the Friars sit at 43-41. This is probably who they are, a .500-ish team that, with a few moves at the deadline and some luck, will qualify for the postseason for the fifth...3319Thu, 02 Jul 2026 13:52:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/sung-mun-song-remains-a-perplexing-evaluation-for-padres-r3304/The San Diego Padres signed Sung-Mun Song with unusual reasoning for a free agent: not because of who he was, but because of who he had proven he could become. For several years, Song was a useful, versatile, disciplined player, but never one of the KBO's elite. Over time, he developed powe...3304Tue, 30 Jun 2026 13:56:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-week-in-review-sweep-of-atlanta-then-dodgers-downer-r3295/San Diego Padres Weekly Snapshot Record last week: 4-2 Runs scored last week: 25 Runs allowed last week: 28 (season run differential: minus-13) Scores Game 77 (Monday): Padres 1, Atlanta 0 Game 78 (Tuesday): Padres 7, Atlanta 6 (10 innings) Game 79 (Wedn...3295Mon, 29 Jun 2026 16:08:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/after-one-start-jp-sears-has-reintroduced-himself-as-a-viable-padres-rotation-option-r3307/The San Diego Padres — sweep of Atlanta last week be damned — are a team with a rotation in shambles.  Aside from Michael King at its head, the remainder of the team's starting five is full up with questions ranging from concern to outright despair. Randy Vásquez has regressed mightily afte...3307Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:54:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/reranking-padres-2025-trade-deadline-deals-one-year-later-r3301/A.J. Preller isn’t a mad scientist, at least not technically. His role as San Diego Padres’ president of baseball operations and general manager doesn’t require a STEM degree. But his roster machinations and the construction of his contract offers can only be cooked up in a lab. Exhibit A: The 2...3301Sat, 27 Jun 2026 15:02:02 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/randy-v%C3%A1squezs-command-woes-have-taken-on-a-new-form-r3299/3299Thu, 25 Jun 2026 13:56:01 +0000https://padresmission.com/news-rumors/san-diego-padres/padres-are-stuck-between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place-with-germ%C3%A1n-m%C3%A1rquez-and-griffin-canning-r3297/As we hit the end of June, the San Diego Padres' rotation picture remains as clouded as ever.  Michael King is entrenched at the top of the starting five. We know that much. Randy Vásquez continues to provide decent-enough volume to stick around as part of the group despite increasingly ala...3297Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:04:01 +0000
