Getting Pivetta was a nice move, especially considering the budget, but it's hard to see a path forward beyond 2025. So I guess win it all this season?

I really like this piece. The Tokyo Series was wildly successful and while it will be hard to replicate the intensity of Japanese fans, MLB needs to start tapping into more international markets that love baseball.

Thanks for reminding me I need to reset the reputation...

As for me: why am I starting this site? I live in Minnesota and consider myself a "Twins fan" but spent many of my formative years living in Escondido. The 98 Padres were the team that got me back into baseball after a four-year hiatus following the strike. I went to the last game at the Murph and one of the first games in Petco. While I'm a fan of multiple teams, the Padres are a core component of my baseball experience and I'm thrilled to finally take this step.

Welcome to an all-new Padres analysis and news site! Along with starting a new forum for fans of the San Diego Padres, we will now provide fans with thoughtful articles from fellow Padres fans and writers. It is all part of an ongoing effort to create a one-stop-shop, a community for passionate Pads fans. So, what can you look for and expect from the front-page articles of Padres Mission? To answer that, I’d like to encourage you to click on our sister site, Twins Daily, for what you might see over time from some of your favorite Padres writers. Here is what you may find over time: Deep statistical analysis on a player or topic. For those who enjoy looking into baseball's many advanced statistics, some articles may help provide reasons for team or managerial decisions, situational analysis, and more. Minor league articles. The plan is to have daily minor league reports on the Padres affiliates throughout the minor league season. You will see how the teams did, how the players performed, some highlights, and more. In addition, we will provide prospect rankings and more. Player profiles on major-league players or minor league players. As relationships are developed, we hope to do some player interviews and stories. Maybe there will be stories on current minor leaguers, big leaguers, or even former big leaguers who call San Diego home. News articles from the day. If a player gets hurt, we will try to analyze how the front office will adjust the roster and maybe how the manager will alter lineups, rotations, roles, etc. Trade or free agent analysis. Draft coverage before, during, and following the MLB Draft. Historical articles digging into some of the great (or not-so-great) Padres teams since the formation of the team in 1969. But the history of baseball in San Diego is long and filled with interesting topics and stories. Video! In the coming days, we’ll roll out our video section, which will feature short videos about Padres major and minor league players. We are not looking to duplicate Twins Daily. We want to add to that community and provide more options for Padres fans to connect to their favorite team. The articles, much like the writers, will likely evolve, and that’s a good thing. What if I want to write for Padres Mission? That’s a great question. I’m glad you asked. First, feel free to reach out to email at brock.beauchamp@padresmission.com or contact any of the other writers and express interest. But, you will also note that the user blogs page is still there. If you’ve ever wanted an audience for your Padres takes, this is the perfect place. We will frequently be monitoring the blogs, and if we see quality writing and interesting topics, we may reach out to you about writing on the front page. It is also noteworthy that we will be paying our front-page article writers. It’s certainly not enough to quit your day job. So don’t do that. However, it might be enough to show that we value your time, talent, and effort. We ask that you support our writers by clicking on their articles, reading them, and leaving comments, questions, and feedback on the topics. This is just an extension of the forums and another means of enjoying following the Padres. I am seriously looking forward to knowing much more about the Padres, their farm system, and more. You can also follow Padres on X and Facebook. View full article
