Ken Rosenthal, Eno Sarris, and Dennis Lin of The Athletic wrote a piece on Friday that discussed some of the inner workings of the San Diego Padres front office. There was a lot of information that was revealed in the article, so I’ll just provide the link to that here (subscription required).
One note that was included in the article was the sense of doubt among people in baseball that Bruce Bochy will come out of retirement to manage the Padres if Jayce Tingler gets fired. The article questioned whether experienced managers like Buck Showalter or Ron Washington would want to manage the team when the general manager is as hands-on as A.
