On Friar, A San Diego Sports Wrap Podcast

At the trade deadline MLB Network's Jon Morosi was among the first to confirm the Padres were landing Juan Soto. In a new OnFriar Podcast we talk with Jon to find out how he got the information, where San Diego now sits on the pecking order of World Series contenders, and why Dyersville, Iowa is such a magical place.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We hoped Juan Soto would be great. We have not been disappointed. The slugger has been an on base machine in San Diego, but another trade deadline acquisition might be doing even more damage. On an off-day OnFriar Podcast, the hosts talk about the one moment that might have fixed the Padres offense, and it came not from a fresh face, but from a guy who was already f#*%!ing here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
