The San Diego Padres new owners are inheriting one of the hottest teams in baseball.
Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss the Padres sweep over the Minnesota Twins, the scorching hot Fernando Tatis after his four-hit, two home run performance, and Walker Buehler's third straight quality start. The two hear from Padres manager Craig Stammen on the three-game sweep and why Buehler can smell the postseason.
Darren and Marty hit the biggest takeaways from a busy weekend, the latest on Casey Mize's weird sprained ankle injury, Randy Vasquez's strong statement to stay in the Padres rotation, and the next step for Joe Musgrove. How are the Padres players reacting to the upcoming official introduction of the team's new owners, led by Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano?
The two hear from Manny Machado and Joe Musgrove, and discuss the big uncertainty on how the ownership group will operate. What kind of relationship will Jones and Feliciano have inside the clubhouse and will remotely resemble the special relationship Peter Seidler had with players such as Machado, Tatis and Musgrove?
Marty and Darren hear from an optimistic and upbeat Tatis on anticipation for the new ownership group, and the team and city they are buying into.
