Will the Padres pummell the weakling Rockies and Giants like they did the Marlins or are they destined to step on a rake like they did against the Royals? That question will be answered this week at Petco Park as we close in on the end of “buy or sell?” season.
MLB.Com’s AJ Cassavell joins us to talk about San Diego's biggest trade deadline questions, including whether A.J. Preller should push his chips in, stand pat, or make a more creative move to address the roster's biggest needs.
Are the Padres built to survive 162 games or are they actually better built for a short series in October? We explore the idea that while the Padres have annoyingly struggled with consistency during the regular season, adding a starting pitcher to pair with Michael King plus this bullpen could make them a far more dangerous team in a short postseason series than their regular season record might suggest.
Plus, a look at the trade market, realistic deadline targets and who deserves the credit for the Padres turnaround on offense.
