The playoffs continue but the Padres offseason questions are just beginning. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss what stands out about the Brewers 2-0 lead over the Dodgers in the NLCS, and who benefits from three smaller market teams remaining in the playoffs. 

The two discuss the projected arbitration numbers for some key Padres players including Gavin Sheets, Mason Miller, Luis Campusano and Ty France. How many catchers will the Padres carry in 2027, and is there an obvious tandem should Michael King leave in free agency? 

Marty and Darren how King clearly elevated himself as the ace and leader of the Padres clubhouse, how big a priority it is to sign him and what we learned about Nick Pivetta's comeback. King discusses the Padres close knit clubhouse and why San Diego has become a second home for him.

Does the Milwaukee Brewers sweeping the Dodgers in the NLCS ease or enhance the pain of the Padres fans? 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell reflect on the Brewers domination over the "dinosaur" Dodgers, what it says about the Padres considering how closely they played the Dodgers,  and how another small market team finding success could fuel the arguments around the upcoming CBA. 

The two then discuss A.J. Preller's season-ending press conference, what he had to say about Ty France's value, how Joe Musgrove might be used in 2027, and the big decision Yu Darvish has to make about his future. 

Marty and Darren hear from Preller on the Padres interesting off-season and the big priority of re-signing ace Michael King.

The San Diego Padres postseason dreams ended in a painful, similar fashion to their last two exits, but why is there reason for true optimism heading into 2027? 

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith welcome in Kyle Glaser to put a cap on the 2026 Padres, where the organization improved the most, and how Craig Stammen made the biggest change from his predecessor Mike Shildt. 

The three discuss what went wrong in the NLDS versus the 103-win Milwaukee Brewers, why it was a mistake to pull Walker Buehler in game four, how Bradgley Rodriguez was used in the series and if it was a mistake to let Mason Miller attempt a two-inning save. 

Darren, Marty, and Kyle discuss the offense being stymied in the playoffs for the third straight year, and the encouraging steps made by Fernando. Tatis and Jackson Merrill.
