Friar Talk: A Padres Podcast: Recent Episodes
Chase Hapner
Isaac goes solo to break down another back and forth week of Padres baseball that leaves them below .500.
It was a good, not great week for Padres baseball. Let's see what this team can continue to do!
Padres go 3-3 this week and stay at .500. We got a mixed bag of the pros and cons we have seen!
Recording this before the epic comeback, so let's hope we see these changes and this squad flips the script!!!
The Padres have named Matt Waldron the 5th starter and made a couple strange roster moves on the pitching side.

As we wait to see if any additions are going to be made, we break down the current roster and discuss if this roster is good enough to make the playoffs.

The Padres are looking to acquire a lefty CFer, with Jarren Duran and Sal Frelick being the names mentioned currently.
After the farm was ranked in the 20s last year, it's climbed all the way back up. Credit needs to be given to AJ Preller in this department.
With the Padres hardly investing in free agency this year, we take a look at the best trade options to fix this lineup.
Low cost is the name of the game for the Padres now. Here's our favorite cheap starters the Padres can target.

While its unlikely, we talk about the Crone trade rumors and what we think the Padres should actually do to increase his value as a player.

Series won, but at a large cost as Robert Suarez will be suspended for 10 games for a foreign substance.

Sadly, it finally feels like time is almost out of the Padres to make a late season push this year. We will be back later this week to further discuss Bob Melvin and get into the Juan Soto contract extension rumors.
After playing good baseball over the past month, the Padres get smacked up by Los Angeles and now sit 4 GB of the last wildcard spot.
