There was a report that came out Tuesday in The Athletic from Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal that discussed the problems going on between the front office and coaching staff in San Diego. A.J. Preller and Bob Melvin's relationship is being compared to a toxic relationship between two parents and it has become "one of the worst-kept secrets in baseball". Why would Melvin want to stay after the season and what needs to change with how Preller operates?

Manny Machado told the media Monday that he expects to have elbow surgery soon and it would sideline him for 6-7 months. This season is unofficially over so why is he continuing to play? Plus, Padres fans set a single season franchise attendance record. Props to y'all!

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on Kevin Acee's detailed piece that he published Friday morning on the San Diego Padres clubhouse/culture issues. Manny Machado, who is known as the team's unofficial captain, was the main player focused on in this piece and it doesn't seem like he holds himself or his teammates accountable enough. Machado admitted the Padres didn't want it bad enough this year like other teams. There's a lot of issues with this club...

The Boston Red Sox fired their chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom on Thursday and he's viewed as one of the great minds in baseball so should Peter Seidler take this opportunity to go get Bloom and move on from A.J. Preller?

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on Yu Darvish being shut down, Joe Musgrove wanting to pitch one more time in 2023 and the San Diego Padres series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manny Machado and Juan Soto had big nights in the series opener, as both homered and Machado passed Tony Gwynn on the Padres all-time HR list. The former All-Star third baseman did admit he is considering having surgery to repair his right elbow. Why not shut it down then and do it now? Near the end of the show, Ben gives you the latest around San Diego sports!

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on the San Diego Padres weekend series in Houston against the Astros. Blake Snell, who reportedly could command $200 million in free agency, pitched another quality start on Friday night and was backed up by a great offense. Too bad they haven't been able to do it consistently enough in 2023. Near the end of the show, Ben gives you the latest around San Diego sports!

The San Diego Padres were three games under .500 at the trade deadline and entering Friday's series against the Houston Astros, they are nine games under. So clearly in hindsight adding pieces at the deadline wasn't the right thing to do but what if they got a redo at the deadline? Would have A.J. Preller sold instead of trying to make a losing team a little bit better? Plus, there's a report out saying San Diego had interest in Tommy Pham.

Ben Fadden gives you his thoughts on the San Diego Padres series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. Fernando Tatis Jr. showed up big time on his bobblehead night and Pedro Avila had a strong start in front of a sellout crowd. The Padres got dominated by Zack Wheeler on Wednesday. Plus, Gary Sanchez says he wants to stay in San Diego. Is that going to be an easy thing to make happen?
