Will the story of the 2026 San Diego Padres be more about the starting rotation or the dreadful offense?

Marty Caswell welcomes in special co-host Kyle Glaser, who breaks down the Padres pitching struggles, and why it's been the first time in years that they haven't been able to turn around some reclamation projects.

Kyle also breaks down the dreadful offensive numbers, and why the heat needs to be on a coaching staff that clearly hasn't gotten the best out of the players. How attractive a trade piece will Padres closer Mason Miller be? We hear from Mason, who discusses what it's like dealing with trade rumors for the second straight season. I

f the Padres decide to trade Mason, would he have more value at the deadline or in the off-season? Kyle explains why the Padres need to sell now, and why the team has more in common with the woeful Angels than a true contending team.

The two look at some of the bad contracts weighing down the Padres and discuss if they could pair one of them on a Miller deal. Should the Padres make changes with their coaching staff at the All-Star break? Marty and Kyle weigh the likelihood of that happening, and answer more questions from frustrated Padres fans.
