How have we not seen the new city connects yet

If Matt Waldron can maintain control of his non Knuckleball pitches he might be a real dude.

My favorite thing about Spring Training is people getting hyped over someone like Garrett Hawkins. He is nasty but it’s a 2 pitch mix with average Velo on the 4S.

I would LOVE to buy some USA WBC merchandise but imo it all looks so awful. Looks like if someone put “USA art template” into photoshop.

It’s so over.

Nah I think you got a moral obligation to not fuck with any car activity.

This is just more noteworthy developments than saying Jackson Merril has hit the ball harder than he did at the same time last year or things of that nature.

Was told Randy Vasquez is learning a splitter and a different shape and velocity curve. You couldn’t convince me that’s not coming from Darvish lol.

I think the moves that have been made because the trade market isn’t there right now. However the Guardians might end up being good trade partners, and of course the Royals.

Just one of the worst takes you’ll ever see.

To be fair Canning won’t be ready or rushed, Buehler is minor league deal, Hart competing for bullpen spot. Also forgot JP Sears. I imagine we keep 6 SP on roster. Musgrove could be on innings limit.

David borenaz.. from Buffy the vampire slayer?

Not really. About a dozen people with real interest. What John Seidler said today has been true from day 1. Everyone with interest seems to understand the value of the San Diego market.

Nope, he’s an exciting GM but winning a WS is even more exciting and I’m not sure he’s gonna be the one capable of that.

AJs deal is tor 2 more years. I would put money on it being his last years with the Padres

There seems to be a lil bit more openness about the budget restrictions the past few weeks. Got a feeling we might be in for one hell of a Dennis Lin piece when the sale goes through lol.

Idk how common it is in other clubs but it’s interesting to me that the Padres always have someone from the coaching staff involved in the first call they have with potential signings

Yeah this comes almost directly from AJ. Not to say that Manny is wrong I agree for the most part. I also don’t know how much it matters tbh. New ownership likely by opening day. Greupner is always gonna just be the business guy players don’t have to like him.

Bunch of dudes dancing with the shirts off.. Then this guy.

Canning is a Ruben Niebla signing. There were like 5 other pitchers they were interested in but Canning has been working on his repertoire during the off season in the same way Ruben already had visioned for him and he’d been advocating for him ever since.

Padres gonna add castellanos and like griffin canning aren’t they.

The thing that’s gonna bother me all season, I’m sure it will, is how excellent our bullpen will be only to be failed by the other 2 pieces. I do not think this lineup is much better than last seasons if at all. I also think as each year goes on there’s a chance Manny and Xander fall off a cliff.

Padres gonna add castellanos and like griffin canning aren’t they.

Good vibes guy.

Zac gallen on a 3 mill salary deal but with options etc up to 20 mill feels like the type of weird ass deal they might do.

Whoever asked Steven Souza that question about hitting approach is my hero.

Look I don’t care what you think about any of these people individually. But the three of them coming together sound truly awful.

With Kendrick now and now Bad Bunny the NFL looks like they’re up to some woke shenanigans…
Many people saying this.

I think there’s a world where this is a Last Dance type season for this version of the Padres. New ownership and new front office after this season. I think it’s VERY unlikely but not impossible.
