Ken Rosenthal Breaks Down Padres Organizational Turmoil

[@omilu808]

Great article showing the fans how bad the front office is and the horrible history.

[@hw6271]

Sadly Dennis Lin wrote pretty much this same article in 2021 And as a fan, it was apparent to me that preller was a complete fool from his very first trade back in 2015.

[@micahanderson7523]

How many times does AJs ability need to be "called into question" before we make a change? Hes been given far to many chances for nothing to really change. When someone has a problem with how preller runs things, they either quit or get fired. There is no room in this team for opinions other than agreeing with preller, and that is a major problem.

[@hw6271]

😢

[@ChadDeLanzo]

Amen to that, that writing has been on the since early in his tenure as GM. Lots of fans don’t even remember or know that Preller was suspended back in 2016 for hiding player injuries during trades, massive red flag, and the list goes on and on!

[@ChadDeLanzo]

Preller’s reputation from the suspension back in 2016 has lead to lots of teams not even wanting to do business with Preller!

[@eyeseverywhere8246]

The other main issue is that Melvin never once had the chance to submit his own lineups. Everything came from "upstairs"...in Preller's office. He was hired by Preller, without the opportunity to bring in his own coaches....so there were way too many fingers in the pie. Even looking at Melvin in the dugout this year, he looked tense, and uneasy, knowing he was powerless with this group. Def not a healthy spot for an experienced manager.

[@dereksupernaut]

i don't watch MLB and i knew Tatis immediately moving from SS to RF after signing a never ending contract was a big negative for San Diego as SS is difficult to find a good hitter and RF is easy to find a good hitter... fax!!!

[@zachleary108]

I'm not sold on Preller being a "great evaluator." Their farm system is shot and he gave Boggerts an 11 year contract at age 30. That's an insane contract for a short stop at that age and one that is great but not HOF great. So all I see is Preller signing a bunch of huge names with money, not getting along with his staff or managers, hiring weirdly placed performance coaches and having very little home grown talent.

It's not Tatis. It's the complete lack of clutch hitting across the board this year, plus some shoddy BP. They lost every single extra innings game and overall 6-22 in 1-run games. That's not Tatis' fault. "Expected Win-Loss Record" based on runs scored and allowed has them at 85-68 right now, instead of their actual 75-78.

[@ll.111]

IMO Manny has been fine. We got more than we expected with the previous contract. I personally wasn’t a fan and wanted the Padres to sign Harper but Manny has surprisingly been the opposite of the villain people made him out to be. Remember, when he joined the team, Hosmer was the leader who set the tone for the clubhouse. Manny wasn’t expected to be that guy. AJ obviously sent Hosmer packing last year so, now what? Manny’s fault? Hardly. If anything AJ’s lack of feel caused this outcome. He builds a roster like fantasy sports and not necessarily like a real team.

[@rayfinkle9369]

AJ should stick to scouting. But Siedler in an interview called him perfection, so it doesn't look like we're getting a new GM anytime soon. There was recently word that AJ might drop big cash on Bellinger this offseason. Ugh, this guy.

[@ll.111]

@@rayfinkle9369 poor Uncle Peter handing AJ blank checks like they're going out of style. AJ doesn't get the concept of "less is more." This includes not needing to spend big or making a big splash sometimes or maybe all the time. Pads might already have what the team needs somewhere in the organization. AJ just needs to quit meddling and let things come to fruition as they would naturally. Not saying it's guaranteed Pads would have fully developed who were traded away but it would be nice to still have Munoz, France, Klasse, Bednar, on the roster.

As long as he remains clean, Fernando Tatis Jr is one hell of a spark on the field. When he gets out to right field, he greets his fans at the start of every home game. On the basepath, watching him steal home earlier this year was a shot of adrenaline and he's always a lively one in the dugout.

[@onespeedlite]

What some people don't realize is that leadership is both a skillset and a responsibility that one chooses to accept or not. Particularly in sports, the most talented/best performing player is usually given the leadership role by default. This is the wrong approach, because it does not consider whether that player has the leadership qualities/characters, skills, or even the desire to accept the responsibilities and pressures of a leader. It's like asking the a chef to manage a restaurant team simply because he can cook a killer steak.

[@OutlookPositive]

Not to mention, Ken Rosenthal makes a very good point. Manny Machado since 2015 is second in games played in all of baseball. That in itself takes on some form of leadership. There are different types of leaders. Manny Machado shows his by showing up. Nothing wrong w/that.

[@onespeedlite]

[@reyr6215]

I’m a 43 year old lifelong Padres fan and I know exactly what it is. It’s Peter giving AJ the keys to the Lambo and a Black card with no limits or restrictions… he means well, but he should’ve learned from last time he tried this with Kemp, Norris, Upton etc. .. then he did great by adding Manny & Tati etc. but idk why he felt like after so much success last season, he still had to shake things up and “make a splash” by signing ANOTHER shortstop! Instead of filling the team needs. He totally mishandled the Tatis situation. (Regardless of his troubles) You don’t treat your young generational player like that. It was a big F you by signing Bogey to that long term contract. Don’t get me wrong; I love Bogey as a player but that move made 0 sense. Especially since we had Kim already. Then you get rid of Profar and Hosmer who were the glue of that clubhouse. Idc what anyone says. THEY WERE! Last year we DO NOT make it to playoffs without those 2…. So now they’re gone & you move guys around to unfamiliar positions on defense and you resign Manny just as season begins and his ego just inflated.(I love Manny but it’s true! I knew it from interviews & his walk up song for the first few homestands) So now all this going on and now u have Xander Boegarts and he slumps for a couple weeks so u have him batting 5th!!! That guy probably never batted 5th his WHOLE LIFE!! No wonder he was struggling. Baseball is probably 80% mental. These guys, our “core 4” were all screwed up from the jump. I was seeing it happen in real time! Then , not to mention our rising star Cronenworth, who’s an outstanding ball player gets kinda pushed to side batting 6th or 7th … bro u can’t do your players like that. And yeah it’s a team sport but when guys prove themselves as “stars” & “superstars” they have earned that status & u gotta keep that in mind. Kim is such a great guy & a grinder & good sport. He woulda been ok batting 5th or 6th all season. His ego wouldn’t have been affected.. whoever was setting lineups first 4-5 months really screwed up. What BoMel said beginning of season was true. He could’ve plugged those 4 in the lineup in almost any order & woulda worked. (Except Manny in leadoff) But man, after all this shit I just hope they LEAVE IT ALONE NOW!! Let these guys work on their relationships & gel. I have faith in our guys that they can be professionals & pull it together. Especially having Joe in that clubhouse. If Peter tightens that leash on AJ & they don’t try to shake things up anymore we will be making the playoffs for the next 5-6 years minimum. JUST ADD PITCHING AND LEAVE IT TF ALONE NOW!!! AND KEEP BOMEL BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!! EVEN IF IT MEANS FIRING AJ!!!

[@johnnynephrite6147]

Nonsense and much to say about nothing. Bad starts, prolonged slumps, and a lot of "waiting for the other stars to do it" attitude meant too little too late. Had they pick up a few more games here and there, or won just a few of the extra innings games, they'da made the playoffs. Its a miracle they made it to .500 on the season. The main thing to do now is DON'T PANIC. Keep as much of this team together here for a few more years and reap the rewards. Sign Soto, and sign Snell, and we are in the playoffs for sure next season.

[@edlocks5112]

Well we wrote it so it must be true...😂😂😂 definitely not be totally honest

[@SDSFG45]

the reason I laugh at this notion of Manny NOT being "the leader of leaders" is due to NOBODY saying a damn thing about Wil Myers OPENLY saying "I dont want to be a leader...Im not THAT GUY!". But he took the 85 million on the same day he said what he said, almost a decade ago.. And subsequent to that day, he turned in one decent season out of 9. So, if Manny defines himself by the workload he gives his employer..plus the elite glove and bat?...trust me, ANYBODY should be happy with that. Paul Goldschmidt is not a rah-rah guy either. He's a classic case of a "by example" guy. But no one gives him a hard time. So, these problems that we're hearing about a team Ive been a fan of since 1973, are not unique, nor are they unusual. There are a heap of other teams with the same damn issues. But when MLB and fans of MLB see all this money spent on a team like this, and they dont go out and win 2 World Series in one year...everybody and their Mom, mashes the panic button and starts picking on the Padres. And that is more indicative of how petty fans and haters can be...not necessarily indicative of a franchise falling apart. 2024 will come around and it'll be another team getting a similar kind of hate. Thats just how a baseball season goes. And by the way?...when dude says they Padres are losing a huge part of their team, when Snell/Hader leave?...so, what. Snell may win a Cy Young, maybe not. And Hader will get his money. But this is not a team that CANNOT survive and prosper if they dont get retained. Scott Barlow will step in for Hader and do just fine. And they have pieces they can use to fill out the rotation. So, lets not act like the Apocalypse is upon the fanbase in SD, ok?

[@chuckpetersen246]

Too many egos and results show.

[@justinwarner3000]

I’ll take Machado on the Dodgers in a heartbeat.

[@kayfolson378]

Nooooo, we had him on the Dodgers and they couldn't wait to get rid of him. He is not a good fit at all.

[@ren1818ren]

Dude who cares

[@dxraaaaa]

SD Padres suck now. Have always suck. Will always suck. Go Dodgers 💙

[@bennettpolicy4704]

This team has very very little to complain about, now look at the Chargers, do U expect them to start the season 0 and 3, do U wanna place blame on the players or on the Coach or the management ??? @ArielEpstein @LATimesSports @NFLNetwork

Creating drama, when there is a little to none, you win you win you lose you lose

Hey make sure you don't miss arm day again and see if you can get a tighter shirt.

What is so funny Fernando Tatis Jr.?!?!? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJyxip2fmMR1gcUsi=i2Jmj248V4G2HrkB

[@UWish0430]

Bob Melvin is a hell of a manager. It's a shame he has incompetence in the front office above him and prima donnas in the clubhouse with Tatis and Machado.

[@timw8646]

he sucks as a manager. if he is so good, why did the a's let him go
