The San Diego Padres won 90 games in 2025 and look to build on that in 2026. New manager Craig Stammen takes the reins of a roster headlined by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Jackson Merrill, and Xander Bogaerts, but the offseason brought big changes. Dylan Cease, Luís Arráez, Robert Suárez, and Ryan O'Hearn are gone, while A.J. Preller loaded up on low-risk, high-upside additions like Nick Castellanos, Miguel Andújar, KBO star Sung-Mun Song, and a rotation full of bounce-back arms.

We break down the pitching questions, Joe Musgrove's return from Tommy John, Michael King's new deal, the battle between Walker Buehler, Germán Márquez, and Nick Pivetta for rotation spots, plus how this lineup stacks up against a loaded NL West. Can San Diego finally get past the Dodgers?
