Kyle Glaser and Mike Cameron discuss how the San Diego Padres should manage Machado's workload in 2026, including whether DH days actually provide requisite rest, why 150 games should be his target, and how first-year manager Craig Stammen can mitigate pushback from Machado about taking days off.

The San Diego Padres are in desperate need of starting pitching and don't have much payroll room to work with. Kyle Glaser and Heath Bell assess the possibility of Mason Miller, Adrian Morejon or David Morgan moving from the bullpen to the rotation, including how many innings Miller could realistically be counted on for, why Morejon is highly unlikely to be able to make the conversion, and if Morgan might actually be the best candidate of the three to move to the rotation.
