Seidler, Fowler were right to stay with Preller. He’s become one of MLB’s most interesting team-builders. A bit like when Bochy had some early hiccups (much milder) and Lucchino-Moores supported him.

Will be interested to see if A.J. Preller’s numerous additions indeed result in Padres increasing their matchup advantages across games. Mike Shildt’s attention to deal, salesmanship should improve the odds of this baseball chess working out.

Giants are longshots to reach playoffs and have already dealt a good reliever. Will Buster Pose move reliever Doval? Should command a pretty good return.

If Pirates GM hasn’t found out what Skenes in fact could attract in this trade market, he’s not doing his job. Doesn’t mean he should trade him. Gotta find out. Sound out the Dodgers and Cubs, at minimum.

It’s a robust sellers trade market for MLB relievers. A.J. Preller has the Padres in good position there, while they appear headed to their fourth postseason in six years.

San Diego FC has responded well to losing its top scorer, Milan Iloski, deep in its first MLS season. But it will need to get more offense out of Iloski’s former spot.

LT Josh Simmons. Attended Madison and Helix high schools in San Diego County, played a season at San Diego St. before redshirting. Joins SDSU alum and punter Matt Araiza on Chiefs. K.C.'s LT play last year was abysmal in many games.

Manu Duah didn’t make all-Big West conference teams but went first in MLS draft. Now we’re seeing what San Diego FC saw in Duah — and at a new position. (New link).

Not smart, MLS. Don’t mess with Messi. I hope for San Diego FC and its fans this move isn’t indicative of MLS’ ability to anticipate and solve problems.

The goal in stoppage time by Anders Dreyer was taken away because the replay showed the ref had declared the game was over. So, it’s a 1-0 win for San Diego FC rather than a 2-0 win. I’ll delete first tweet.

The San Diego Loyal drew several bigger paid crowds than what Los Angeles Chargers drew today in same San Diego venue. Football stuff: interesting points from OC Greg Roman re Alt, Slater, rookie RB.
