Mr. Consistency: How Craig Stammen has survived and thrived in his first season as Padres manager (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For much of this season, the Padres rarely seemed to have all facets of the game working at once. When their pitchers kept the score in check, the offense hardly showed signs of life. When the bats came alive, the arms faltered. Wins would come in spurts, enough to remain on the fringes of contention. But sustained success was elusive. The offense became one of the most productive in the majors. The rotation stabilized. It was a month in which, finally, they found some consistency on the field.
Talking with … New Padres starter Casey Mize (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Padres acquired Casey Mize from the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline with hopes that the right-handed starting pitcher would help their playoff push.

He made his major league debut in 2020 and emerged as a full-time starter in 2021, making 30 starts before injuries derailed the next two seasons.

Change in mechanics, mindset helps Padres reliever Kyle Hart find big-league success (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kyle Hart was going to retire from Major League Baseball before a stint in the Korean Baseball Organization in 2024. It’s a good thing he didn’t, because the Padres have sure needed him this year. The 33-year-old Hart has been an unsung hero of the Padres bullpen, particularly as they employed “pitching chaos” in the week leading up to the trade deadline. The strategy worked. The Padres went 5-2 in that span. Key to that success was Hart, a versatile left-hander who has provided multiple innings
Talking with … Padres spark plug Luis Rengifo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Padres signed Luis Rengifo to a minor league contract in June, shortly after he was released by the Milwaukee Brewers. A native of Naguanagua, Venezuela, Rengifo was signed as an international free agent by the Seattle Mariners in 2014. The Mariners traded Rengifo to the Tampa Bay Rays in August 2017, and Tampa Bay dealt him to the Los Angeles Angels six months later. Rengifo made his major league debut with the Angels in 2019, then signed with the Brewers ahead of the 2026 season. He hit .2
