Canning added more depth to his slider and began to mix in a cutter on occasion for the first time since 2020 last year, but his changeup remains his best pitch.
Could someone on #PadresTwitter explain how the Venn diagram of people who've spent the last 365 days bitching and moaning about bringing Heyward and Guriel in last year, and the people who think they should bring in Castellanos this year is a perfect circle??
I wonder what this genius decided the subscription data in the months after he spiked an endorsement and fired the writers who offended his sensibilities was telling him.
Statement from Jeff Bezos: "The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity. Each and every day our readers give us a roadmap to success. The data tells us what is valuable and where to focus. Jeff, along with Matt and Adam, are positioned to lead…
Separate from all the evilness, it really is hard to believe anyone in any position of authority is this stupid, and even harder to believe there are so many laughing sycophants around him. It's beyond embarrassing.
Trump: "It's actually a legal definition -- 'whole milk.' And it's whole with a W for those of you that have a problem."
Gavin Newsom should announce that he's heard all the brilliant input on folic acid and isn't going to require it, then tomorrow introduce regulations to add the very helpful vitamin B9 to our foods. 90% of these dipshits wouldn't catch it.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us
A mere 7,500 words on the top names to know in the system. We're 3/5 of the way through our individual lists before our collective Top 20 right before spring training. Happy to answer questions about why my list is superior to @JohnConniff's, or any other Padres prospect topic.
With just under 40 days left before big league camp opens, we continue our individual top 30 Padres prospects series for subscribers with @dmjay's list. As always, feel free to direct questions or taunts to him! madfriars.com/2026/01/06/mad…
The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.
Three true things: Maduro in jail is good. How Trump did it is bad. The best case scenario of what comes next is still very bad.
This remains the single most honest thing this disgrace has said in 40+ years of public life. The saddest part of it is how proudly his marks wear this condemnation of themselves. youtu.be/xEonHJt_iqY?si…

Trump says he could "shoot somebody"
One would like to think the Vice President of the United States isn't actually this fucking stupid and doesn't hold this much contempt for the basic brain function of Americans, but the evidence that he is and that he does is rather overwhelming at this point.
In as much as Okamoto is a baseball player currently alive on planet Earth, the Padres part of this checks out.
The Padres, Pirates, and Angels have been three of the teams that have shown interest in Japanese third baseman Kazuma Okamoto, per sources.
Hey, @erikgreupner, I realize that if you had to put time into every time Delaware North does something lousy, you'd never have time for anything else, but... Charging almost double the posted price would be some serious bullshit even if it wasn't also wildly illegal.
Somehow, the takeaway a not- insignificant portion of #PadresTwitter has from this is that Tatis is a disappointment. In related news, NEVER pay attention to fan opinion.
Zeigler's doing some STELLAR reporting on the absolute shitshow that is SDSU athletics. Any decent university administrator would immediately apologize for about a dozen different things in this article that show such blatant disregard for their students and community.
The SDSU committee making a recommendation whether to raise mandatory student athletic fees holds its decisive meeting that's not open to the public, media or the students who will be paying them. sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/12/12/sds…
This should be a no-brainer claim for the Padres.
Logan White's scouting-first approach has been a very important voice in the Padres organization for 10+ years. He's been INCREDIBLY generous with his time and insights, going back to when I first met him in the Rancho Cucamonga press box more than 15 years ago. Enjoy retirement!
The Scout of the Year program honored its 5 recipients for 2025, headlined by retiring #Padres senior adviser and director of player personnel Logan White: atmlb.com/4a8yQSu
The Mariners just traded a catcher who is an early favorite for ROY this year for three years of an inferior set-up reliever. It seems like the market is ripe for an Estrada trade.
Been saying man, I think we can even move him including some prospects for a solid cheap starter.
