The San Diego Padres LOST to the Colorado Rockies, 3-2, on Friday afternoon, bringing their record to 3-5 in the early stages of spring training.

With the World Baseball Classic right around the corner, the Padres will be without the talents of Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts (among other Friars) as they represent their respective countries in the highly anticipated tournament.

As the 2026 season approaches, the Padres are reportedly fielding trade offers on multiple players. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller is just a few months removed from what was perhaps his most prolific trade deadline haul at the midway mark of the 2025 campaign, but only time will tell what he and the front office have in store for the new year.

In other news, a Padres pitcher was released from the hospital and was cleared to rejoin the team after his surgery. Due to the Padres' bolstered potential starting rotation, and the fact that the right-hander is still yet to restart his throwing progression, his status for Opening Day appears to be in doubt.

Finally, a new Padres All-Star spoke candidly about the rival Los Angeles Dodgers and their obtuse spending habits in the last half-decade. He spoke on how LA is not only one of the most popular teams in America, but also their global draw thanks to its diverse (and expensive) roster.
