The Padres have fired team president Mike Dee, the club announced in a very brief statement on Wednesday. Dee had been in his current position since July 17, 2013.

Given the circumstances surrounding the Padres at present, seeing front office heads roll isn't exactly surprising, even if which front office member was fired might come as a surprise.

Not only did the 2016 San Diego Padres finish in last place at 68-94 -- their sixth-straight losing season and 10th consecutive season missing the playoffs -- but they had some issues regarding medicals in trades.
