Padres attendance was number 2 in all of MLB last year. Spend money.

Jackson 'First Pitch' Merrill

Plus after the season starts when Moon comes back Preller will have to try to sneak Johnson or France through waivers barring you injury. Maybe he'll want to get a return for Laureano now

The day before France probably gets added to the roster who doesn't have much of a path to at bats unless Laureano is traded

Yuki Matsui (groin strain) will open the season on the IL, Craig Stammen said, but he’ll face hitters in the coming days and probably isn’t too far off. Jason Adam (quad surgery) is pitching today and, potentially, Monday. If that goes well, still a chance he makes the roster.

Laureano hits 9th yesterday and today Castellanos starts in LF while Laureano is with the B squad

Jake Cronenworth hits a bases-clearing double to give the Padres a 9-6 lead in the 8th against the White Sox. Cronenworth has put together a great Spring: .378 BA // 1.045 OPS // .477 OBP

Romeo Sanabria turns on a Logan Gilbert fastball for a double down the right field line. He's now has a pair of hits as he continues his strong spring.

Jaxon Dalena’s FB has hit 98 mph w/ 18” of iVB. He learned his Curveball grip from his Little League coach, 2019 Hall of Fame Inductee Mike Mussina. In 2026, he’ll look to continue making waves in the Padres system. My interview w/ Dalena 🔽🔽 madfriars.com/2026/03/20/jax…

Padres are one of two teams to have not announced their opening-day starter. Nick Pivetta is pitching tonight and will likely be on the mound vs. Tarik Skubal for Thursday’s season opener.

Canning throwing 94-95, T96, sprayed the changeup to start, but he locked it in as he struck out the side after a single and walk to open against Mariners big leaguers.

Machado could do the same

Stammen says on the broadcast Croney leading off vs. righties is definitely something we might see

One more week 👀

Walker Buehler Is Back. Sort Of. blogs.fangraphs.com/walker-buehler…

Kolek and Bergert not in the Royals rotation. Fermin will be a top 5 catcher in the NL this year.

@Ken_Rosenthal .624 OPS after his last at bat home run. Yes it was a big one

Bryce Harper met the moment at World Baseball Classic, but a title again proved elusive. nytimes.com/athletic/71279…

If you think about it, getting Mark DeRosa to manage this USA baseball team is like if USA Basketball hired Kenny Smith to coach the 2024 Olympic team.

@JasonLSwitzer Im really glad he didn’t. Don’t need have any lingering effect from these outings. Need to save his bullets for the real deal.

Welp looks like Mason Miller will be pitching tonight
