Padres in Freefall After May Collapse | San Diego Padres News
Description
The Padres’ hot start is cooling fast as they plummet back to .500 after a brutal loss to the Dodgers, exposing a team in freefall. Since May 1, they’re 24-32 with a run differential that screams disaster, and their offense, ranked 28th in runs created, can’t string together wins. Randy Vásquez, the expensive gamble from the Soto trade, is cratering as a No. 2 starter, pushing his ERA to nearly eight. Manny Machado’s career-worst slump, Jackson Merrill’s lost power, and Jake Cronenworth’s .164 average paint a picture of a roster in freefall. GM AJ Preller’s aggressive, high-cost rebuild is backfiring—no prospects, no flexibility, and no clear path forward. With three games out of a playoff spot and no signs of improvement, a complete reset may be the only answer.
