The Padres have a new manager, and it's a familiar name, and friend of the podcast! In a surprise decision A.J. Preller passed on Niebla, Pujols and company in favor of former Padres reliever Craig Stammen. He'll have the respect of the clubhouse, will that translate to his new role? He doesn't have any experience as a manager, how concerned should we be? It sounds like Ruben Niebla is coming back. There is an important coaching spot to fill. Albert Pujols as hitting coach? Plus, Michael King and Dylan Cease get qualifying offers. And Yu Darvish is on the shelf until 2027.
