There will be a new manager when the Padres are wearing their new brown uniforms next season.
Andy Green has been fired, two years before his contract was due to expire and after four years with a 274-366 record.
The team made the decision to move on before the season ended in the interest of having the decision makers who will be shaping the future as part of the conversations about the future.
The Padres will seek a new voice as they head into what they expect to be a window of contention in 2020 — on the heels of what has been a team-record tying nine straight losing seasons.
