Episode Description from the Publisher

The San Diego Padres have only won one of their last seven series but President of Baseball Ops A.J. Preller is itching to buy? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell welcome in Kyle Glaser to discuss the confounding Padres, what their record says about them, and the obstacles to making a real run. The trio react to former MLB general manager Jim Bowden bemoaning their lack of prospects, why it's hard to watch James Wood and C.J. Abrams flourish with the Nationals and why the Padres need to hold on to Ethan Salas and acquire more young talent. The show also discusses the merits of trading Kash Mayfield to the Mets for a rental of Freddy Peralta. What teams would line up as the Padres trade partners should the Padres become sellers? Glaser breaks down the list of teams that would covet Mason Miller, and which system offers the best fit of young controllable pitchers that the Padres desperately need. For a team desperate to find starting pitching, what would be the benefit of trading Michael King? Marty, Darren and Kyle jump into the King trade scenarios, why the Padres could very well hold onto Mason Miller, and the latest on the Padres new ownership being approved sometime in August, but only after the trade deadline.See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.  Enroll online today at K12.com/foul Get 20% off your first order of $125 or more at MackWeldon.com with promo code FOULFriar Territory is the official San Diego Padres podcast in the Foul Territory Network.
