Friar Territory: a San Diego Padres podcast

The new Padres owners were seen in a suite in Mexico City during the series versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. When can we expect to see them at Petco Park?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell are joined by The Athletic's Dennis Lin from the press box at Petco Park to discuss the vibe in Mexico City, what we know about Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones, and how close they are to adding more partners to their ownership group.

Could Drew Brees, who was recently in the box seats at Petco Park, be part of that mix? Dennis details how soon the sale could be complete.

Is Matt Waldron making his final start on Wednesday versus the Cubs? Dennis discusses the options the Padres face when Griffin Canning and Lucas Giolito join the rotation. The trio then discuss who their "Padres employee of the month" of April is, with Ty France and Luis Campusano garnering votes.

Next up: Marty's clubhouse interview with Michael King, who discusses how he views the first month of the season and the special bond he has with Luis Campusano.

Darren and Marty then discuss if it's time to drop Fernando Tatis further down in the order, as well as the interminable discussion on who the best leadoff hitter is when Ramon Laureano is unavailable.

How much better are the Padres after the surprising signing of Lucas Giolito?

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell are joined by former All-Star closer Heath Bell to discuss Giolito's signing, how long it will take him to get caught up to speed, and how he fits the team's rotation. There are plenty of teams that were looking for starting pitching so why were the Padres right fit? Heath discusses what goes on behind the scenes when free agents choose a team and what would have happened if he had walked away from a $19 million dollar option when he was playing.

Giolito. Campusano. That's a lot of syllables in that pair and a possible tandem in the coming weeks. Darren, Marty and Heath discuss Campusano's production and what it means to have a manager that believes in him and actually gives him a chance to play.

Mason Miller continues to be a cheat code but will his next opportunity to break Cla Meredith's Padres record for consecutive scoreless innings come in Colorado or Arizona?

The last Padres ownership created fan buzz and goodwill by changing to the brown uniforms. What can this new group led by Jose Feliciano do? The trio discusses, and yes it circulates around Ramon Laureano, Mason Miller, and beer prices.

Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the biggest storylines of the week ahead of the Padres series at the Colorado Rockies and Mexico City.

The duo discuss the Padres incredible offensive numbers at Coors Field and Mexico City, what it means for the team's offense and the wear it puts on the pitching staff. Marty and Darren address the concerns to the already thin rotation, Walker Buehler's numbers at Denver and Matt Waldron's second start after a rough outing versus the Angels,

The show is then joined by Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth from Colorado. Jake discusses the incredible support by Padres fans on the road, how much players look forward to playing at altitude, the impact of ABS and why he knew from the beginning that Craig Stammen would be a terrific choice as the next Padres manager. Jake also discusses the incredible season Mason Miller is having, how shocking it was to see him give up a base hit and what he's most looking forward to in Mexico City.
