Jackson Merrill has injected himself into the NL Rookie of the Year conversation as a leader for the San Diego Padres on their impressive run to the postseason. Can they stay hot against the Colorado Rockies, who have handled them well historically?

Javier Reyes of Just Baseball and Locked on Rockies joins to discuss whether or not GM A.J. Preller is on his way out, whether the Juan Soto trade has been a blessing and which Friars’ prospect may be even more exciting than teenager Ethan Salas.

Plus, a series preview of Pads-Rox and determining if Bud Black is more of a Rockies guy or a Padres guy.
