Video Transcript<\/p>\n

Nick Castellanos is not hitting, and so he got DFA’d.<\/p>\n

Now, I’m not saying the Padres should DFA their whole team, because then that would- you wouldn’t be able to continue to compete in the 2026 Major League Baseball season.<\/p>\n

However, he’s not the only one that’s not hitting.<\/p>\n

Good point.<\/p>\n

And the Padres were swept in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

They have the worst OPS in baseball at 651.<\/p>\n

They’re hitting 216 as a team, which is so bad.<\/p>\n

Their run differential’s now in the negatives.<\/p>\n

They’re six and a half games behind the Dodgers, and now behind the Diamondbacks, who we just mentioned, who are, you know- just walked off the Dodgers last night.<\/p>\n

So just a really bad stretch for San Diego, and there were signs when their record was really good that this is maybe not gonna last.<\/p>\n

But, as we start, listen, as we start heading towards the deadline, we know the Padres are gonna be someone we’re talking about.<\/p>\n

But, they’re gonna have to play a little bit, have to play a little bit better, have to play a little bit better to, Now, I don’t think it’s gonna stop Preller from trying to do something crazy regardless, but this is, I mean, this is just a bad looking ball club right now.<\/p>\n

They’re just embarrassed in f- They’re, you know what it is?<\/p>\n

They’re nervous in front of the new owner.<\/p>\n

Ooh, interesting.<\/p>\n

I’m playing tight.<\/p>\n

Playing tight.<\/p>\n

Well, you better, you better figure that out- For the new owner because, this is a, this is a yikes first impression, I would say.<\/p>\n

My man might’ve bought a lemon.<\/p>\n

But, I, well, there’s a lot going on in San Diego, but, I have imagined we will continue to talk about them.<\/p>\n

They are always interesting.<\/p>\n
