Talking Friars: A San Diego Padres podcast

The San Diego Padres could be set in their starting rotation but there’s still room to improve if the opportunity presents itself. Johnny Cueto just signed with the Miami Marlins, which leaves Michael Wacha as arguably the best remaining free agent starter on the market. In other words, there aren’t any great starters left. But what about the trade market?

The San Diego Padres number one priority going into this offseason was to acquire starting pitching and you could make the case they’ve done that with the additions of Seth Lugo, Wilmer Font, Brett Honeywell Jr., and Julio Teheran. With that said, you could also make the case that San Diego could use one more. If they don’t land Johnny Cueto, does it need to be through free agency though when there are more worthwhile free agent outfielders out there?

Manny Machado is the best third baseman in baseball and he is going to be looking to be paid like it at the end of 2023 if he opts out of the remaining five years left on the contract he signed back in 2019 with the San Diego Padres. Us fans hope he doesn’t get to free agency but what will Peter Seidler have to pay Machado for that not to happen? Plus, there’s a positive clue out on social media involving Machado that should give fans faith that the Padres will ultimately get a deal done. #Padres #MLB #Baseball Subscribe for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 Check out my MLB YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BaseballStruck If you wish to support Talking Friars, please give a super chat during live streams or give a super thanks by hitting the "$ Thanks" button on videos!

New San Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts won the World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He had some pretty good talent around him—Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez just to name a few—but he might have more talent around him this season in the brown and gold. We won’t know if that’s the case until the games are played but let’s go through the projections!

We’re almost done with 2022 so it’s a great time to look back on everything that happened involving our San Diego Padres this year. There was a lockout and then there wasn’t. Fernando Tatis Jr. missed the entire season. There was an Opening Day trade that paved the way for A.J. Preller to acquire Josh Hader. Manny Machado had a MVP-caliber season. Juan Soto and Xander Bogaerts are Padres. Oh, and did you hear about the Padres slaying the dragon? Let’s take a deep dive into what happened for 2022! #Padres #MLB #Baseball Subscribe for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 Check out my MLB YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BaseballStruck If you wish to support Talking Friars, please give a super chat during live streams or give a super thanks by hitting the "$ Thanks" button on videos!

The San Diego Padres have had a successful offseason...so far. They’ve added to the pitching staff, found someone who can be this year’s version of Brandon Drury or Wil Myers at a cheaper price and acquired some depth at the catching position. With that said, they still need to go get another starting caliber outfielder who can play at least until Fernando Tatis Jr. returns. Who could that be? Let’s go over five players the Padres should target in free agency! #Padres #MLB #Baseball Subscribe for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 Check out my MLB YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BaseballStruck If you wish to support Talking Friars, please give a super chat during live streams or give a super thanks by hitting the "$ Thanks" button on videos!

The Padres needed to add a bat who could play multiple positions and that’s what they’ve done! Matt Carpenter may have been seeing his career come to end in 2021 but he revamped his swing and came back in 2022 as one of the hottest hitters on the planet for the Yankees.

In this episode, Ben Fadden explains why Padres fans shouldn’t be worried about the potential of him leaving and tries to determine how big of an offer it would take to keep Manny in the brown and gold.

We knew the San Diego Padres were interested in adding Kodai Senga to the starting rotation but that won’t be happening, as he’s headed to the New York Mets. If it was Opening Day, the rotation would include Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Joe Musgrove, Nick Martinez and Julio Teheran. The good news though is it’s not Opening Day.

The San Diego Padres aren’t messing around. They reportedly offered $340+ million contracts to two star players—Trea Turner and Aaron Judge—and are interested in some of the other top free agents. In this episode, Ben Fadden goes over the sequence of events that led to Judge signing back with New York, talk about what the Padres being in on Judge means for them the rest of the offseason and how they can still have a successful offseason even after losing out on two guys they really wanted. #Padres #MLB #Baseball YOUTUBE Subscribe to the Talking Friars YouTube page for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you wish to support Talking Friars, please give a super chat during live streams or give a super thanks by hitting the "$ Thanks" button on videos!

Hello from the Winter Meetings! We know the San Diego Padres offered Trea Turner way more than $300 million so the conversation today in San Diego has been about if A.J. Preller will use that money on one of the other big name free agents. Plus, there’s a report out that the Padres aren’t interested in the shortstop market any longer now that Turner is off the board. Should we really believe that?

Hello from the MLB Winter Meetings in San Diego! One of the San Diego Padres top targets, Trea Turner, is off the board so now the focus shifts to Xander Bogaerts, who the Padres have met with in person according to Kevin Acee. Will they end up getting him? Plus, the Padres have also started expressing interest in first baseman and outfielders such as Michael Brantley and Trey Mancini. Should they go that route instead of spending big on a shortstop?

Things are heating up! Dennis Lin has reported the San Diego Padres have met with Trea Turner twice in person ahead of next week’s MLB Winter Meetings so they’re definitely interested.

A.J. Preller likely wishes he hadn’t traded Trea Turner in 2015 in the Wil Myers deal but it appears he’s trying to get the infielder back, according to Ken Rosenthal. Imagine what a lineup with Turner, Manny Machado, Juan Soto, Jake Cronenworth and Fernando Tatis Jr. could do! Plus, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is comparing their loss to the Padres in the NLDS to their 2017 World Series loss to the Houston Astros.

Brett Stang is a big Padres fan who made it on the Bally Sports San Diego broadcast this year while he was waving a Padres flag. He made signs to hang up at his apartment near Petco Park and talked with Don Orsillo and Mark Grant during games so Ben Fadden figured why not get him on the show to talk about the team they love! #Padres #MLB #Baseball YOUTUBE Subscribe to the Talking Friars YouTube page for free year round Padres content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgJHFZPJpuyVyG_skyD0F6w?sub_confirmation=1 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL If you wish to support Talking Friars, please give a super chat during live streams or give a super thanks by hitting the "$ Thanks" button on videos!

Ken Rosenthal came out with an interesting report last night detailing what the San Diego Padres are up to the week before the winter meetings begin. It turns out they made a competitive offer to Jose Abreu and there were more teams than we thought in the running for the former MVP. The Padres also have been in touch with Xander Bogaerts’ camp about playing multiple positions. Is he willing to not play shortstop though? Plus, which is more realistic: adding Trea Turner or adding Bogaerts?

Yesterday might have been Thanksgiving but there was still an interesting report coming from Jon Heyman that involved the San Diego Padres. He says A.J. Preller is “looking at shortstop” and that one of those they like is former Boston Red Sox star Xander Bogaerts.

There are now two San Diego writers who have said it’s best for Fernando Tatis Jr. to play first base in 2023, which just doesn’t make sense. Plus, Craig Stammen is not retiring despite him being 38 years old. And since it’s almost Thanksgiving, let’s talk about what we’re grateful for as Padres fans!

Before Ken Rosenthal’s Sunday evening report, we didn’t know if free agent Kodai Senga cared about landing on a contender, but now we do. The Padres are in a favorable spot then, right? Scouts are raving about Jackson Merrill after his performance in the Arizona Fall League. Should the Padres think about trading their top prospect for players who could help the team win now? Plus, a former Padre has been added to this year’s National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.
