2023/08/14

USA Today's Bob Nightengale came out with a long notebook on Sunday and had a couple interesting Padres tidbits in there. He said San Diego is "aggressively trying to sign Juan Soto to a contract extension" and if Bob Melvin takes the fall at the end of the season, offensive coordinator Ryan Flaherty is "a strong candidate" to replace him. Would Flaherty actually help change things? Subscribe for year round Padres/San Diego Sports content:

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on the San Diego Padres series loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The team meeting on Wednesday must have worked because the offense scored ten runs on Friday night with Xander Bogaerts leading the way.

Juan Soto admitted a couple days ago that the San Diego Padres quit against the Seattle Mariners. When that happens, it's apparent that players on the team aren't all bought in and playing together as a team. If they want to be a postseason team, then that has to change now.
