Padres fans gathered around their Twitters and their car radios anticipating a blockbuster trade from a Rockstar GM. A trade that never came to fruition.

Preller expressed trust in the product he put together, but to be honest, what else was he going to say? Either way, fans learned that these are our 2015 Padres through thick and thin. Today's game gave the faithful a real treat: an extra-inning blowout to start the series against the Marlins.
