Locked On Padres - Daily Podcast On The San Diego Padres

Can the Colorado Rockies finally shake their losing reputation and rise in the NL West, or will the San Diego Padres make a surprise leap past the Dodgers as MLB’s most intense rivalry heats up?
Paul Holden (host of Locked On Rockies) and Javier Reyes break down the Rockies’ offseason overhaul, analyzing the impact of new starting pitchers, a revamped front office, and the battle for rotation spots. They weigh whether Colorado’s fresh approach can rebuild hope—or if “worst run differential” talk will define another season. For the Padres, it’s all eyes on Fernando Tatis Jr., Xander Bogaerts, and Manny Machado as offseason buzz gives way to hard questions about roster depth, the looming ownership sale, Javi's distaste for the team is covered, and more. Plus, the two touch on the Padres/Dodgers rivalry being one the best developments in the entire sport. Go Padres.

San Diego Padres strengthen their lineup with the signing of Miguel Andújar, a bat who crushed left-handed pitching last season. Is Andújar the missing piece for the Padres’ struggling offense or another needless bargain-bin gamble? Javier Reyes examines Andújar’s career resurgence, his versatility across third base and outfield, and whether his metrics suggest lasting impact or a lucky hot streak.
Other topics raised by Reyes include the Padres continued reliance on low strikeout hitters, the comparison with other failed veteran pickups, the ongoing need for power to match playoff contenders, trade-offs between expected stats and clutch performance, upcoming World Baseball Classic storylines for Padres stars, and the brewing excitement over a potential franchise sale—with Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob among rumored bidders. Go Padres.

San Diego Padres’ farm system depth sparks concern as the team eyes a competitive NL West run. Can Ethan Salas and rising prospects Kruz Schoolcraft and Kash Mayfield step up to fill critical roster gaps, or will recent blockbuster trades—like dealing Leo De Vries for Mason Miller—come back to haunt A.J. Preller’s long-term strategy?
Host Javier Reyes dissects Keith Law’s latest prospect rankings and weighs the true cost of a depleted minor league system for the Padres’ 2026 outlook and beyond. Key topics include asset management, bullpen volatility, the ongoing ripple effects of trading away top talent, some listener questions about how San Diego can navigate payroll constraints while staying competitive, and more! Go Padres.
