Podcasts about Preller

A.J. Preller made a bunch of moves last week, and they have paid off right away. Laureano has been raking, O'Hearn got in the lineup and went deep, and Mason Miller showed his incredible stuff Wednesday. Plus, Nestor Cortes made his debut and JP Sears had a bumpy first appearance. Meanwhile, Xander is looking like Xander and the Padres are winning games they may not have a month ago. As a result, they are in striking distance of the Dodgers.

Anthony Franco and Steve Adams join Darragh McDonald to recap the trade deadline. They discuss the Padres' deadline haul and A.J. Preller's willingness to trade away prospects, Leo De Vries and the rest of the Athletics' return for Mason Miller and JP Sears, the Twins selling off most of their bullpen and dumping Carlos Correa's salary on the Astros, the Mariners bolstering their offense with Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor, the Diamondbacks keeping Zac Gallen, the general lack of high-end starters moved this year, whether the Rangers acquisition of Merrill Kelly will put them over the luxury tax, the Mets targeting pitchers with different styles to beef up their bullpen, the Yankees making bullpen moves and those guys struggling in their first looks with their new team, if Ke'Bryan Hayes will hit better with the Reds than he did with the Pirates, whether trading a top prospect for Shane Bieber was a good idea for the Blue Jays, why the Red Sox made the trade for Dustin May, and the Tigers and Cubs not making any big moves.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about where they stand on two competing perceptions of this year's trade deadline activity and why it turned out not to be a dudline, then discuss all the major storylines—including A.J. Preller's all-in antics, the Twins' teardown, Carlos Correa's Houston reunion, and the closer carousel—before going through moves on […]

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour by welcoming Padres President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller to the show as he calls in on a Friar Friday to give a full recap of everything he did yesterday at the MLB trade deadline.

Listen here as AJ recaps a WILD trade deadline and gives us his thoughts on all of the players coming to the Padres, if this roster is ready to compete for a World Series title, and stick around for the end of the interview where AJ absolutely ROASTS Ben!

A.J. Preller is a mad man. We'll figure out the future when it comes, for now the focus is on 2025 and the pursuit of a World Series. Hello Mason Miller, goodbye Leo De Vries. Dylan Cease and Robert Suarez are still Padres. Ryan O'Hearn and Ramon Laureano bolster the lineup. Plus Fermin, Wagner and Cortes! Wow, that was wild.

We Hear More From AJ Preller On the Deadline Moves.

Ben and Brent open Friday's show reacting to the Toronto Blue Jays adding Shane Bieber, Louis Varland and Ty France before yesterday's MLB Trade Deadline came to pass. They weigh the potential upside and risks that comes with acquiring Bieber, the 2020 Cy Young winner, from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for pitching prospect Khal Stephen. Then, they move onto Ross Atkins' deal with the Minnesota Twins which saw reliever Louis Varland and first basemen Ty France head to Toronto, while sending back Alan Roden and Kendrys Rojas. The duo discusses what Varland brings to the bullpen, the importance of having him under control through 2030, and whether France's track record makes him an enticing depth bat addition. Afterwards, B&B turn their attention to other moves made across MLB. They begin in the AL East, where the New York Yankees beefed up their bullpen with David Bednar and Camilo Doval, meanwhile the Boston Red Sox came up short in their pursuit of Twins ace Joe Ryan, one of few names that weren't sold off by Minnesota. They conclude the hour touching on the San Diego Padres and General Manager A.J. Preller, who loaded up his roster with five deals involving 22 players.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

(00:00-9:34) Padres always aggressive at the deadline under A.J. Preller. Is Shildt still on the hot seat in San Diego? Will the Cardinals make a move at manager? Franchise needs some sizzle back. Doug doesn't think Molina will be a manager. Some coaches are built for rebuilds.(9:42-18:37) The well was full but now it's dry. Perfect song for the movie on the 2025 Cardinals. The forward tees. The A's getting quite the return for Miller and Sears. Catching fly balls with two hands. Jackson's duffed hybrid.(18:47-33:48) An email from a listener on Cardinal season tickets and fan apathy.

We're still waiting for the first move, but rumors are picking up around the Padres. Darnay checks in with Jon & Jim to see how they're feeling a week out from the MLB Trade Deadline. Is a Dylan Cease trade a given? What about Robert Suarez? Jake Cronenworth? Is Sandy Alcantara a real possibility? What about Steven Kwan? How could the deadline and the months that follow impact A.J. Preller's future? And will the rest of the season look more like 2024 or 2021?

Did a AJ Preller Deal Get Shot Down By The Red Sox ? More Trade Deadline Rumors.

Welcome back to Tablesetters for Episode 95 — and joining us once again is a fan favorite from Episode 55: Matt Devine of Devine Sports Gospel. Known for his sharp takes, infectious humor, and deep pulse on Padres baseball, Matt returns just in time for one of the most pivotal moments of the season: the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline. We begin where San Diego fans want us to: What is A.J. Preller cooking? With the Padres sitting on the edge of contention, Matt helps us break down whether Preller is ready to go all-in, or if we're staring at a rare hybrid approach. We get into potential trade targets like Dylan Cease, Michael King, and even some left-field and catching upgrades — from big splashes to bargain bats. From there, we widen the lens across the league: – Could the D-backs become surprise sellers? – What's next for the Orioles? – Who is ready to outbid the market for Eugenio Suárez? – Will contenders like the Mariners, Yankees, and Phillies go aggressive or stay calculated? And just as the October picture starts to take shape, we unpack a few major stories from around the league: ⚾ Jacob Misiorowski's innings management — Milwaukee's flamethrower might be the most electric rookie in baseball, but his workload is clearly under tight restriction. We break down what that means for the Brewers' October blueprint. ⚾ Rafael Devers at first base? It finally happened — just not in a Red Sox uniform. His first game in the field for the Giants came in the midst of a losing streak, but it may have sparked a turnaround in San Francisco. We explore the implications for both the Giants and Boston's long-term handling of Devers. We also put Devin through a round of Buy or Sell, where we debate: – Will Cal Raleigh break the Mariners' single-season HR record? – And are Mason Miller and Emmanuel Clase really off the board — or just expensive? We also have a great new addition, it's time for a brand-new edition of Blind Rankings — where Devin and Matt team up to rank some of the greatest Trade Deadline Rentals in modern MLB history. From Céspedes' 2015 magic and “Mannywood” in LA, we reflect on the short-term heroes who left a lasting legacy.

Day one of Padres Spring Training ended with a surprise - they have money to spend! A.J. Preller added a key piece to the rotation with the addition of Nick Pivetta. Sammy Levitt joins to discuss the righty and what he brings to the table. Will he be the next arm to benefit from Ruben Niebla's genius? Will they keep Dylan Cease and go for it in 2025? They have left fielders now too! But A.J. isn't done! Sammy shares his early impressions from Peoria.

THE RED SOX HAVE DONE IT!!Emergency pod featuring Jordan, Jack and Tim because the Boston Red Sox made a big market move, signing Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract with opt-outs after the first two seasons.Shoutout A.J. Preller for signing Nick Pivetta, thus giving the Red Sox a compensation pick an hour before Boston forfeited their second rounder to sign Bregman.How do the Yankees respond?

A.J. Preller and the San Diego Padres have had one of the quietest offseason in all of Major League Baseball... excluding the lawsuit between Sheel Seidler and the Seidler Brothers. Does any team in the National League West even have one bad transaction as awful as the Friar's winter? Los Angeles signed arguably the three or four best free agents in Roki Sasaki, Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Teoscar Hernández. Were the Dodgers trades to acquire international bonus pool money and the Gavin Lux swap with the Cincinnati Reds better than any the Colorado Rockies achieved? Plus, Arizona Diamondbacks signed an ace in Corbin Burnes and the San Francisco Giants signed a future Hall of Famer in Justin Verlander. Include the Willy Adames deal and can it be argued that the Giants had the best offseason in the division?

Ben, Woods, and Paulie are here for you on a Wednesday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay which involves an entire conversation on why Ben cannot wear hats. Then we set the menu for today's show before we get to some Padres talk, and continue to wonder WHEN will AJ Preller finally strike, and what will it look like with there still being several holes on the roster. Listen here!

The Roki Sasaki dream is dashed. The Dodgers added a top reliever and former Padre in Tanner Scott. And the Padres remain mostly quiet. Darren Smith joins Darnay to discuss the challenging path forward for A.J. Preller. Is it time to sell off parts and rebuild? Can they keep everyone in place for another run in 2025? The Dodgers' big offseason has been a source of frustration, but where should our ire really be directed? And how does the uncertainty in 2025 compare to how we were feeling about the Padres a year ago?

Hembo and Buster discuss why Roki Sasaki will be baseball's biggest bargain, why Boston is the best place for Juan Soto to play, Christian Walker flying under the radar, Dick Allen's air-tight Hall of Fame case, and banging the drum for Ichiro Suzuki's unanimously being elected to the Hall of Fame. Then, Seattle Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto stops by to talk about becoming a first-time grandfather, improving the infield, avoiding a slow start for Julio Rodriguez, and GM scouting reports on A.J. Preller and Dave Dombrowski. Next, Chicago Cubs GM Carter Hawkins chats with Buster about meeting with agents during free agency, the focus of the Cubs offseason and the improvement of Pete Crow-Armstrong. Later, Jesse Rogers on the Yankees potentially matching any offer to Soto, which teams are interested in trading for Garrett Crochet, the Phillies possibly being aggressive this offseason, Corbin Burnes, the Blue Jays looking for lineup balance, and the Cardinals moving Wilson Contreras to 1B.
