A.J. Preller and the Padres are...back?
Darren Smith and Marty Caswell break down the news that the Padres will meet with top free agent pitcher Tarik Skubal, along with new owners Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones. The two discuss the buzz from the GM meetings that involve A.J. Preller having real financial flexibility for the first time since Peter Seidler passed away, and what it means for the Padres off-season.
Marty and Darren hear from Skubal's agent Scott Boras on his meeting with A.J. Preller and the Padres, and why more teams should be like Peter Seidler. Who's the biggest winner if the Padres fail to sign Skubal, who has at least six known suitors? Hello, Michael King.
