#Padres are currently listening to offers on expiring contracts such as RP Adrian Morejon, RP Jason Adam, SP Michael King, SP Nick Pivetta, 1B/DH Ty France.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

#Padres & #Astros have had serious trade talks that would send Superstar DH Yordan Alvarez to San Diego. Top prospect C Ethan Salas is the main trade piece heading back to Houston.

Giants can do all they want to revive this dead rivalry but it’ll never be Padres-Dodgers level.

[Blake Harris @BlakeHHarris]

Great job by Logan Webb sending a message to Dalton Rushing while trailing by 3 runs

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

Tatis, Merrill, Xander & Manny eating up 80% of the payroll

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

@DevineGospel James Outman 2.0. Another bad extension.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

Padres are expected to be listening to offers on RF Fernando Tatis Jr. this upcoming season due to “lack of production” from the former superstar. Multiple suitors including the #Yankees, #Mets, #Mariners, #Cubs, #BlueJays are expected to show severe interest.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

Spoke with one source in Seattle stating “It’s on pace to happen if the Mariners don’t pick it up by the end of May”.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

Source: #Padres AJ Preller has called the #Mariners in regards to the trade availability on SP George Kirby & Logan Gilbert following a 10-14 start.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

#Padres & #Mets have explored a 1 for 1 contract swap regarding 2 superstars in RF Fernando Tatis Jr. & SS Francisco Lindor. Nothing seems imminent but one source believe these players need a “Refreshing Start” after struggles to open up the 2026 season.

This was the 2nd place runner up uniform for the 2026 San Diego Padres city connect uniforms. #Padres #MLB

[Don Orsillo @DonOrsillo]

About last night….I am ok 😂 @Padres #ForTheFaithful

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

I’m never wrong. Just early. More to come.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

BREAKING: #Padres Manager Mike Shildts seat is reportedly “Warming Up” after a disappointing stretch of baseball. Is a new change coming to San Diego??? #ForTheFaithful #MLB

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

Someone give the dodgers owner the Peter Siedler experience

[Padres Farm @Pads1818]

"dodgers stadium south"

Sorry, Padres fans don't let that happen anymore

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

that 2022 lineup was one of the worst lineups in recent history. the only threat at the plate was manny who struggled all postseason

[Blake @BushLeagueBlake]

Was watching 2022 playoff highlights and I decided that the 2025 Padres lineup is better or equal to the 2022 Padres 1-9

C Fermin> Nola
1B Arraez> Myers
2B Crone=Crone
3B Manny=Manny
SS Bogaerts>Kim 🧐
LF Laureano>Profar
CF Merrill>Grish
RF Soto= Tatis

Fight me. Go Padres 🤎

@manuelrajunov @DevineGospel I’d rather have no rings than be a fuckin jew 😂

Padres draft pick is in and all I can say is WOW 👀. #ForTheFaithful

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

@VTwins2008 My sources have told me they are in the market for a big bat in the outfield.

[Darrell Johnson @DJ3rdMLB]

#Padres are looking to “stir up some moves” before the all star break coming up my sources tell me. #ForTheFaithful #MLB
