San Diego Padres President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller was observed talking on the phone, while pacing the outfield of Wrigley Field long after the Padres were eliminated in the Wild Card Series by the Chicago Cubs.

Former Cardinals manager Mike Shildt retires after two strong seasons with the Padres, citing mental and physical exhaustion.

The San Diego Padres clinched at least a wild-card berth in the 2025 Major League Baseball playoffs with their win over the Bewers.

Baseball makes no sense. Poetry without rhyme or reason. Therefore, it is the most difficult sport to understand. Because, like a drunk trying to comprehend T.S. Eliot or John Donne after they wrote on magic mushrooms, it can’t be done. So, this coming ...

Shildt’s exit, Yesavage’s plea, Schlittler’s experience, Hendriks’ posts, and the Marte incident form a pattern that is harder to ignore. Baseball needs to find a way to protect its players on and off the field, so the game’s edge stays between the lines, not in players’ DMs or their families’ mentions.
