Padres looking to rebound after series-opening loss to the Snakes

The closer we get to today’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, the more restless the Friar Faithful become. The rumors have been swirling around the San Diego Padres since last month.

Padres take second game from Giants in dramatic fashion

Padres Joe Musgrove, Nick Pivetta injury update: How far from their return?

The San Diego Padres have great confidence in Joe Musgrove and Nick Pivetta when they take the hill. Each pitcher has defined why they’re a top-of-the-rotation starter with their bulldog-like mentality. Musgrove is the hometown hero who pitched the first no-hitter in franchise history. Pivetta had a breakout 2025 campaign, going 13-5 with a 2.87 […]
