Friar Territory: A San Diego Padres Podcast

State of the Padres farm system, John Conniff talks trade chips

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/97e13555-b91f-4961-b6fd-b4870122f30a/transcript

The San Diego Padres got a lot better at the trade deadline. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell recap the trades for Robbie Ray and Casey Mize, and the impact of keeping their bullpen intact. 

The two hear from Padres president of baseball ops A.J. Preller on his approach at the trade deadline, and why he's not apologizing for trying to win. Marty and Darren also discuss how Ray and Mize fit the rotation, and what kind of pressure it takes off Michael King. 

Darren then breaks down the wild card chase, the importance of the series versus the Diamondbacks and why the Padres are on the outside of nearly every possible tie-breaking scenario. The duo discuss Preller's faith in the offense, and why it lies heavily on Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis and Jackson Merrill to carry this team after a disappointing showing on Monday night in Arizona. 

How much did the impending lockout affect Preller's approach at the deadline? Preller discusses how a possible work stoppage impacted his move amid the uncertainty.

Ray and Mize are Padres, AJ Preller makes a statement with deadline moves

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/d119daa0-eed2-482e-ad04-b49c0111111a/transcript

Just three games remain until the MLB trade deadline arrives, and the Padres need to be buyers.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in former Padres All-Star closer Heath Bell to discuss what it's like inside the clubhouse during the trade deadline, and why he often disappeared into the gym without any tv's during this time of year. 

Heath discussed what it was like when the Padres attempted to trade Jake Peavy multiple times despite his no-trade clause, and the result it had inside the clubhouse. Heath also discussed why he would have given anything for a chance to pitch in the playoffs, and yes, the Padres and their fans should not take a chance at the playoffs for granted. 

What's more important for the Padres to add, another bat or pitcher? Marty, Darren and Heath discuss the pitching chaos that Craig Stammen is using, how sustainable it is, and the rumors surrounding Freddy Peralta and Clay Holmes. 

The Padres offense has really picked up in the last month, will this sway A.J. Preller's mysterious approach at the deadline? The three debate whether the Padres will pull off a bigger move, and the merits of moving top prospect Ethan Salas.

Every game for the Padres is a must-win game ahead of the trade deadline, and right now they're looking like buyers. 

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in The Athletic's Dennis Lin to break down the upcoming MLB trade deadline, why A.J. Preller really has no untouchable players, and if he's angling to have have any of his high-contract players waive their no-trade clauses. 

Lin discusses the uncertainty of the pending Padres sale and who from the organization has been in touch with Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones when it comes to adding payroll at the deadline. 

The three discuss the idea of buying and selling at the deadline, what it means for Adrian Morejon, the promotion of Ethan Salas and why Fernando Tatis may not be untouchable in the future. 

Marty and Darren then jump into the comments from Michael King on the pressure the Padres are playing with each game, the team's little margin for error and Manny Machado's comments on negative coverage amid their underwhelming season.
