The Padres had a successful week to build some momentum heading into what should be their most difficult month of the season.  The On Friar Podcast hosts break down the looming gauntlet and discuss the health of the pitching staff … including the chances it will soon include Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who is suddenly the subject of trade rumors because of social media.

📺 On Friar is available on YouTube! Watch new episodes here.
