Podcasts about Preller

Ben & Paul open the 7am hour by discussing what the national media has been saying about AJ Preller and the Padres since Monday's trade deadline. Then we get to "Don't (And DO) Do This" before the guys are joined by former MLB all-star Bret Boone who joins the show each Wednesday morning and we get all of his thoughts on the Padres since they added a couple of starting pitchers to their rotation. Listen here!

Padres President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller joined Ben & Woods on Tuesday morning! Listen here as AJ reflects on yesterday's hectic MLB trade deadline and his thoughts on the new players he acquired, how tough it is for him to trade prospects he's believed in for years, we get some injury updates, and MUCH more!

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour by welcoming Padres President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller back to the show as we get all of his thoughts on yesterday's MLB trade deadline and the new players that he acquired as the Padres continue to compete for a playoff spot. Then we play a game of Take On Woods before we hit the phones once again and catch up with Padres broadcaster Jesse Agler for our weekly conversation! Listen here!

The Padres addressed their biggest need by adding a familiar face. Robbie Ray just shoved at Petco Park, and has been red hot. Then just before the buzzer A.J. Preller brought Casey Mize to town. Both are having strong seasons, and join a rotation in dire need of reinforcements. Derek and Darnay discuss the additions, who it cost to get them - as well as the players who are sticking around for a playoff push.

AJ Preller had a press conference talking about the trade deadline and we recapped and broke it down.

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour with only one thing on the mind: what will AJ Preller do between now and this afternoon's MLB trade deadline?? We discuss the different paths the Padres can take today before we play our first game of Take On Woods for the week! Then at the bottom of the hour, the guys check in with our Padres LINsider Dennis Lin who calls in to tell us the latest he is hearing on the San Diego Padres! Listen here!

The Padres have won five straight games and suddenly the Wild Card landscape looks a lot more gettable. So what will A.J. Preller pull off this time? Derek and Darnay discuss what we've seen from the team the last five games. How big of a buyer could they be? The rotation is the most glaring need, but where else could they upgrade? And what does the team have to offer in a trade? What potential trade targets could be in the Padres' price range? And what is the club's potential if they plug the necessary holes on the roster?

Padres President of Baseball Operations and General Manager AJ Preller joined Ben & Woods on Friar Friday for The Management Report! Listen here as AJ gives us his evaluation of his team that currently sits 4 games out of a Wildcard spot with a 50-53 record, how he is looking to attack the upcoming trade deadline, his thoughts on Craig Stammen, and MUCH more!

Ben & Woods start the 8am hour by welcoming Padres President of Baseball Operations AJ Preller back to the show as he joins us for The Management Report and we pick his brain just a week and a half before the upcoming trade deadline. Then we react to everything we heard from AJ before we reset the show and wrap up the hour with our final game of "Take On Woods" for the week! Listen here!

We had some Daily Gambit to start; we talked about AJ Preller's media availability after the MLB draft...which turned into a chat about this season so far.

Paul Skenes and Konnor Griffin cards are some of the most sought-after in the sports world! Paul Skenes and Braxton Ashcraft are going to the All-Star Game, but both won't pitch. Padres GM A.J. Preller said that the Padres want to keep Mason Miller. Matt thinks Miller would be gone in a firesale but multiple other relievers would be dealt first. The Red Sox won nine in a row and might not deal Aroldis Chapman.

The Padres, believe it or not, are still in playoff position. Can this season be rescued or is it time for Preller to sell it off? Dodgers may trade blue chips for Tarik Skubal. Angels are thinking of Mike Trout trade. MLB Owners and MLB Union are discussing new rules for MLB Draft. 1st Week Fireworks in World Cup 2026. Team USA Firepower Forwards & Injury.

With Spring Training fully underway in Florida and Arizona, we're starting to hear more and more from those in the baseball world about their thoughts on this offseason. Between how New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge voiced his displeasure with his club's slow-moving offseason and Bryce Harper not being too happy with how he was spoken about by Philadelphia Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski, things are getting spicy.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about which of these headlines are actually big deals and which aren't, including Steve Cohen saying there won't be a captain for the New York Mets as long as he owns the team and a couple of players with questionable thoughts on position changes. Then, the guys get into the San Diego Padres having a busy week that saw them bring in Nick Castellanos, along with other free agents, to fill out their roster and signing General Manager A.J. Preller to a long-term deal.Later, Jake and Jordan present the grand finale to this year's Scott Boras Scoreboard after a flurry of his players received new deals and Roman Anthony replaced Corbin Carroll on Team USA's World Baseball Classic roster. They close the show by reintroducing the 26-and-under rankings for this season after big players graduated from the list last season.0:34 - Tony Clark update3:20 - The Opener: Hot Springs Training headlines39:05 - Around the League: Padres keeping busy48:03 - Team USA roster update50:38 - Scott Boras Scoreboard finale59:41 - 2026 26-and-under rankings Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

Ben, Woods, and Paul are here for you on a Friday morning! We start the show with a little bit of foreplay and discuss any Valentine's Day plans this weekend, and Ben apologizes for not shaving his face this morning... Then we set the menu for today's show which includes a throwback to a Valentine's Day themed show from a couple of years ago, and the guys react to one small comment AJ Preller made yesterday when discussing his contract, and we discuss Preller's obvious faith in Luis Campusano. Listen here!

The first Spring Training under Craig Stammen has begun. Derek is about to head to Peoria to catch up with the club. What are the biggest questions facing the new skipper? What's going on with A.J. Preller's future? Would Nick Castellanos be a good fit? What is the state of the rotation? How good can the bullpen be? Will the offensive approach change under new hitting coach Steven Souza Jr? The guys discuss the big storylines and early impressions of Stammen as the man in charge.
