Padres Notes: blink-182 at Petco, 6 Managerial Candidates to Replace Melvin

The latest news out of Padres Nation.

We'll open today's notes by congratulating the Texas Rangers and former Padres manager Bruce Bochy for punching their ticket to the World Series. Seeing Bochy reach another Fall Classic certainly has  long-time Friars fans feeling a certain kind of way... particularly with the news of the club's (still) current manager likely set to join the San Francisco Giants as their new skipper this offseason.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

In managerial candidates news, 6 potential replacements for Bob Melvin have been identified, including 2 internal options. The leading option appears to be former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt according to numerous reports.

And in Petco Park news, music fans in San Diego were excited by the announcement that iconic pop-punk band blink-182 is scheduled to perform at Petco next summer. The date is set for June 30, 2024, while the Padres are on the road in Boston.
