Padres President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller joined Ben & Woods on Friday morning for The Management Report! Listen here as AJ talks about his decision to call Ethan Salas up to the big league squad, if he feels a sense of urgency from his team with a couple weeks remaining in the season, and MUCH more!
Well, this isn't good. The Padres got swept in Tampa then dropped a series in Cincy. Familiar flaws have shown up on offense, while the bullpen has suddenly become shaky. Casey Mize's struggles continued. And Joe Musgrove's status for 2026 is now in doubt. Darnay catches up with Sports Illustrated MLB writer Ryan Phillips. What do we think of Ethan Salas' arrival? And how are we feeling about the Padres' Wild Card chase?
On Tuesday, the baseball world was shocked to learn that longtime Los Angeles Angels owner Arte Moreno had agreed to sell the franchise to Stan Kroenke, and fans of the Halos are ecstatic. After cries from the fanbase to sell the team, Moreno did just that — and to someone who has a pedigree of winning. Is the future bright for Angels fans? On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss the $4 billion deal that sees the owner of the Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal FC, the Denver Nuggets and other professional franchises take over a bewildered baseball team that has been longing for success. They highlight some of Kroenke's championship wins, whether the Angels will remain in Anaheim and what the future could mean for franchise star Mike Trout. Later on the show, Jake and Jordan welcome former MLB player and current broadcaster Ryan Spilborghs to talk about the exciting Friday Night Baseball watch-along on Apple TV that the guys will be doing starting this Friday. Ryan then talks about his time playing in Japan, why the Seattle Mariners are such a disappointment and the incredible game-saving catch by Colton Cowser. The guys then end the show by talking about the latest in the Los Angeles Dodgers-Mark Walter situation, the San Diego Padres calling up top prospect Ethan Salas and the Baltimore Orioles claiming Luis Robert Jr. from the New York Mets. 1:16 - The Opener: Angels get sold 29:51 - Ryan Spilborghs joins the show 47:01 - What is wrong with the Mariners? 58:41 - Around The League: Orioles claim Luis Robert Jr. 1:02:11 - Padres promote Salas 1:04:45 - Latest in Dodgers-Walter drama Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Luis Robert Jr. off waivers from the New York Mets to boost their outfield depth ahead of the stretch run. Corey Pieper breaks down a major waiver wire pickup, an explosive 9-home-run offensive outburst by the Cubs, crucial September bullpen shifts, the daily Bullpen Report, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The transaction and health wire was active as the calendar turns to September, highlighted by Baltimore claiming Luis Robert Jr., St. Louis anticipating the return of Masyn Winn, and Ketel Marte returning to the lineup. On the injury front, Luis Rengifo suffers a season-ending ACL tear, Aaron Judge continues targeting an early September activation during New York's upcoming homestand, and both Ethan Salas and Yohandy Morales highlight notable health updates. Daily performance slates featured dominant showings in the studs column from Ian Seymour dueling Robert Stock, Randy Arozarena, Daylen Lile, Taj Bradley, Luke Keaschall, Ryan Jeffers, Jacob deGrom, Clay Holmes, Walbert Urena, Cal Raleigh, Rafael Devers, Brandon Pfaadt matching up against Aaron Nola, and an unprecedented 9-home-run display from the Chicago Cubs lineup featuring Alex Bregman launching three homers alongside blasts from Michael Conforto, Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, Tyrone Taylor, Carson Kelly, and Matt Shaw. Conversely, Bryce Elder, Kyle Harrison, Jackson Jobe, Gage Jump, and George Kirby matching up against Payton Tolle all struggled into the duds section. The daily Bullpen Report analyzes late-inning dynamics across the league, examining Oakland turning back to Elvis Alvarado, Andrew Kittredge handling high-leverage work in Baltimore, Bryan Hudson in the White Sox bullpen, Josh Hader cementing his status as a top-three closer in Houston, and Justin Martinez returning to late-inning duties for Arizona.

There are a couple of big deadlines on the baseball calendar ahead and with so many people focused on the Trade Deadline in terms of big leaguers who could change hands, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff looked a lot at the other side of that coin on this week's Pipeline Podcast: the prospects. They looked back: at blockbuster prospect deals of Deadlines past, headlined by the huge Juan Soto to the Padres trade in 2022, determining who won the biggest trades of the past decade. They also looked ahead: by examining which teams are best positioned to deal prospects to bring in big league help at this Deadline, starting with the Dodgers. Then the guys switched gears to look at the Draft, with the signing deadline coming next week, by creating a list of 2026 picks who could be the quickest to the big leagues. They finished off with a fun question about where prospects Leo De Vries and Ethan Salas would have gone in this year's Draft. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Shildt On The Bullpen Collapse. Ethan Salas has officially gone from highly-touted prospect to prospect. Did baseball make the right decision?
Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour with some good AND bad injury updates that the Padres provided last night regarding Yu Darvish, Jhony Brito, and Ethan Salas. Then we go around the rest of Major League Baseball and some of last night's results before we wrap up the show with The Reindl Report and a few stories we missed this morning, including Alex Morgan's new role with San Diego Wave FC! Listen here!
Ben and Carlos talk through Baseball America's May Top 100 prospect update. Why we should be excited for the elite tier of shortstops in the class. Why Bubba chandler and Chase Burns have been so dominant. Jac Caglianone's improved swing decisions and a surface level line that is impressive but perhaps not even showing how good he's been. Questions about Konnor Griffin and Ethan Salas. CJ Kayfus as an elite batted ball angle hitter. Jurrangelo Cijntje's usage as a switch pitcher. And plenty more. –Time Stamps(1:00) Iterative lists(4:30) Elite shortstops: Jesus Made, Leo De Vries, Sebastian Walcott(17:00) Nitpicking Sebastian Walcott?(20:00) Bubba Chandler(28:00) Chase Burns(30:30) Walker Jenkins and Max Clark(44:30) Cooper Pratt, Cam Smith(48:30) Jac Caglianone(53:15) Moises Ballesteros(55:20) Zyhir Hope & Josue De Paula(1:00:00) Konnor Griffin(1:08:50) Lazaro Montes(1:10:00) Arjun Nimmala(1:14:00) CJ Kayfus(1:18:00) Luis Pena(1:21:00) Jurrangelo CijntjeDo you have a question or feedback for the show?
