Tucker Musgrove’s arsenal turned plenty of heads at the Arizona Fall League. Out in the desert, I caught up w/ the right-hander to chat about his pitch mix, newly added Kick-Change, utilizing analytics & more My interview w/ Musgrove ⬇️ https://t.co/E4N6Jh0iCc

Will the Padres add at the Winter Meetings? Dylan Cease gets PAID. New coaches. Ty Adcock!!! So much to discuss. Clark and I jump into all of it Apple: https://t.co/yKFCenlvnc? Spotify: https://t.co/tR0ix6ir96

Always a fan of taking chances on guys with high-quality stuff. And that’s what Adcock has. Four-seamer has a good shape at 17.4” iVB. Generating a 31.7% whiff rate in AAA Splitter also boasts exceptional movement. Getting 9.2” horizontal break at ~950 rpms

Ethan Salas October 2024 to December 2025 swing changes: - Vertical Bat Angle (est.): 4° to 10° - minimized stride - lessened leg lift - opened stance The steeper swing tilt should be highly beneficial to success. Looks like a little more bat speed as well?

Personally, I’m still bullish on the 19-year-old who owns a Z-Contact rate of 86% since 2024, career 10.4% BB%, dropped his K% in every professional season, and is an elite defender

MLFA Jace Bowen signed with the Padres. The 25-year-old OF was the Pirates' 11th-rounder out of high school in 2019. After a disappointing 2024 campaign, he had a strong start in Double-A and finished well in Triple-A this year. He'll provide much-needed depth for @epchihuahuas.

The Padres signed RHP Sean Boyle to a MLFA deal. The 29-year-old emerged as a prospect in the Yankees org in 2022 but blew out his UCL and needed TJ in 2023. He had mediocre results in Triple-A last year, but made more starts and threw more innings than any El Paso starter.

Personally, I like the Steven Souza hire. He’s coming from a data driven organization. From what I’ve read and heard, he seems adaptable and analytically driven

Ruben Niebla had a career 4.49 ERA in the MiLB David Popkins had a career .755 OPS in the MiLB Chris Fetter had a career FIP north for 4.00 in the MiLB None of them logged a MLB inning Just because you weren’t and elite player doesn’t mean you can’t be and elite coach

This Tucker Musgrove Sinker cannot actually be hittable without guessing and getting lucky.

Miguel Mendez was a no-brainer for the Padres to add to the 40-man. He's got some of the best stuff in the system. FB in the high 90s w/ two-plane tilt. Topped out at 100 mph. SL in the upper 80s w/ good depth at around 2600-2700 rpms. CH in the upper 80s

The Padres are for sale. The ramifications will be felt for years to come, but ultimately it boils down to a sadness for Peter. Clark and I discuss it all. Plus a fun story at the end about Fernando Tatis Jr. Apple: https://t.co/eCUa7Siwmw Spotify: https://t.co/S49aLXqoXm

Padres prospect Carson Montgomery this evening in the Arizona Fall League: 4 whiffs 50% whiff rate 4 strikeouts Final Line: 2 IP, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks

In a widely predicted move, the Padres have begun exploring a potential sale. The obstacles include labor unrest, signficant debt and several nine-figure player contracts:

Padres say Fernando Tatis Jr. won't be traded this offseason

Back in ‘22, Braedon Karpathios was a little known UDFA from Harford CC. In '25, he posted a 122 wRC+ and .366 wOBA between A+ & AA I caught up w/ the 22-year-old RF to chat about his '25 breakout, swing adjustments & more My interview w/ Karpathios⬇️ https://t.co/sCy0rD78sq

Another offseason where several East Coast fan bases think the Padres are going to deal their 26-year-old superstar who just finished '25 9th in fWAR among all position players. With a wildly affordable contract that sits 42nd in AAV and a full no-trade clause

Tucker Musgrove dominated stuff models with a scoreless outing in the Arizona Fall League All-Star Game. As you can see, he threw a unique two-plane slider shape as his breaking ball; with one of them being 87 MPH with 3,091 RPM. He also hit 99 MPH. He’s really good.

Padres Prospect Carson Montgomery tonight in the Arizona Fall League All Star Game: 3 whiffs 42.9% whiff rate 2 strikeouts. Four seamer sat at 95.7 mph w/ 17.1” iVB from a -4.8 VAA

Braedon Karpathios laces a double off the right field wall. 108.6 mph exit velocity. He’s posted a 63% HH%, 11.1% Barrel Rate, and 94.4 mph average exit velocity at the AFL
