San Diego Padres face critical questions after AJ Preller’s trade deadline decisions. Did quiet moves for Ramon Laureano and Ryan O’Hearn, along with the high-stakes Mason Miller acquisition, set the team up for success—or did they gamble away future assets that could have shored up the rotation and catcher depth?

Javier Reyes breaks down the impact of lineup depth, bullpen upgrades, and missed opportunities for starter reinforcements. Topics include Laureano’s clutch bat, potential for Miller’s conversion to starting pitcher, and fallout from lackluster performances by Nestor Cortes and JP Sears. Plus, Javi responds to some listener questions over Manny Machado’s Hall of Fame case versus Max Muncy, and the Padres’ offseason strategy, and more! Go Padres.
