On Friar, An NBC 7 Padres Podcast

Padres closer Mason Miller explains why he wants to remain in the bullpen and talks about his excitement in joining Team USA for the World Baseball Classic.

The Padres didn't make many moves during the Winter Meetings, but they did make tons of noise. Is A.J. Preller cooking up another blockbuster deal? What players would even be involved to make such a thing possible? Should Fernando Tatis Jr. be untouchable? Is Mason Miller on the block? And would that just be a way to get out of a bad contract? The Padres don't plan on moving a top reliever to the rotation, but might they move some to fill needs? The Mets had a rough week, could they look to San Diego for some star power?

We probably should've seen this day coming. Almost two years to the day of Peter Seidler's passing, the Seidler family announced that they have begun exploring their options for the franchise, including a potential sale. This has layers, from Peter's legacy, to Sheel's stake and the continuing legal unrest. What does it mean for the baseball product in the near and long term? A.J. Preller's contract limbo makes more sense. Could this benefit the club in the long run? In the meantime we bemoan how things have gone since Peter passed. 📺 On Friar is available on YouTube!
