The San Diego Padres named former reliever and current special assistant Craig Stammen as manager on Thursday in a shocking twist. Heath Bell and Kyle Glaser break down the surprise hire, including if Stammen was the right choice, whether former teammates like Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. will give him deference, and why retaining Ruben Niebla on staff as pitching coach is now even more critical.
